Ashland Parks & Recreation would like to thank the 42 youth who recently completed the Youth Conservation Corps this summer.  The 2018 YCC program offered three four-day sessions working in our City parks and trails this past June and July.

Incoming eighth through twelfth graders from the Rogue Valley repaired trails, planted native species, attacked invasive blackberries and scotch broom, and chipped trails at Ashland Pond, North Mountain Park, Oredson Todd Woods, the Calle Guanajuato and Lithia Park.
 
Academic Community Service Hours
After successfully completing the program, participants earned 25 hours of academic community service per session plus recreation passes to the Daniel Meyer Pool and the Ashland Rotary Centennial Ice Rink.

2018 Photo Gallery
The photo gallery for sessions 1-3 of YCC 2018 will be available soon.

Summer 2019
The eighth annual Youth Conservation Corps will again offer three sessions during June and July of 2019.  Incoming eighth through twelfth grade students are welcome to participate.  Session dates and application information for summer of 2019 will be posted in early March.
