Mile High Youth Corps Land Conservation
 
 
 
Land Conservation Crew Members (called Corpsmembers) serve on environmental stewardship projects throughout the Denver, Southern Front Range, and Eastern Plains areas. Corpsmembers will be enrolled in AmeriCorps—a national community service program. No experience is required! We will provide you with hands-on training related to all projects. Crew Type Descriptions: • Chainsaw - primarily complete invasive tree removal and wildland fire mitigation projects. • Trail - primarily complete trail maintenance and construction projects. • Noxious Weed Management - trained on how to safely handle and apply herbicides for invasive species removal projects, the role of pesticides in natural resources management, native and invasive species identification and how to operate a variety of hand pump and backpack sprayers. • Trail & Restoration – in addition to trail maintenance and construction projects, complete fencing, park development, native planting and historical preservation projects. • Day - complete projects in nearby locations, starting and ending each day at MHYC headquarters. Day crews are ideal for projects close to urban areas or easily accessible sites. • Overnight – complete projects further away from the MHYC headquarters, stay in a housing facility provided by the project partner 3 nights a week. Nine meals provided by MHYC per week. • Camping - complete projects further away from MHYC headquarters, setting up camp near the project site and your vehicles to minimize travel time. Nine meals provided by MHYC per week. Training – Depending on crew assignments, Corpsmembers will receive training in one or more stewardship skillsets, including First Aid/CPR, S-212 Wildland Fire Chainsaws (required for sawyers), trail building and maintenance, and herbicide application.
