We are so excited to welcome our 2021-22 SNAP cohort!!

16 SNAPs joined us near Yosemite for in-person orientation training this week. We were able to get some fieldwork in with Gold 5 of AmeriCorps NCCC Pacific Region, who are serving with Tuolumne River Trust and Camp Tuolumne Trails in Groveland, CA. We did trail maintenance on Stanislaus National Forest trails at Rush Creek Lodge at Yosemite, who have been generous supporters of Rim Fire recovery efforts.

Looking forward to the great work the SNAPs will be doing this year!

Peter and Nico were half-term members at FRLT, and spent the summer managing invasive weeds, supporting conservation easement monitoring and reporting, and more. Nico also designed an improved property patrol log, and Peter implemented a new trail camera program for the land trust.
