Ecology work planned at camp

COEUR d'ALENE - A team representing AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps is partnering with Camp Sweyolakan through May 6 to work on several ecological enhancement and restoration activities.

The NCCC members are assisting in camp forest maintenance of about 300 acres of land. Other project tasks include trail and brush clearing, fuel reduction and fire prevention. Their assistance will aid in the expansion of more opportunities for the campers of Sweyolakan.

"I am thrilled to learn fire management skills and to discover the history of Camp Sweyolakan and Coeur d'Alene," said Victoria Fear, NCCC member. "The entire team will benefit from this partnership with Camp Sweyolakan by gaining hands-on forest management skills."
