SUMMARY:Youth Conservation Corp Appreciation Day
DESCRIPTION:As the Plains-Thompson Falls Youth Conservation Corp (YCC) wrap up their season we’ll show our appreciation for the work they’ve done over their eight-week season by delivering pizza and cold drinking water to their worksite. \nThe YCC will be completing the season by replacing picnic tables in campgrounds around the district.  We’re coordinating with the Forest Service to have them arrange for a campground that’ll minimize our drive time.
