The AWCC teamed up with the ULL AmeriCorps group to help with a variety of projects around 4-H Camp Grant Walker!
The LSU AgCenter’s 4-H Camp Grant Walker located in Pollack, La., has been expanding over the last two years. The expansion includes the formation of two wetland ponds on the property and turning an outdoor chapel it into an education center that will be used for wetland outreach education lessons.
On March 28, members from the America’s WETLAND Conservation Corps and the ULL AmeriCorps program gathered at the camp for a “work weekend” to help with new construction projects and repair any remaining damage that was done during the 2008 hurricane season. Among other activities, the 50 AmeriCorps members helped build a boardwalk connecting the ponds to the rest of the camp, renovated an outdoor chapel that will be used to teach the “wetlands education track” at camp this summer, helped remove fallen limbs from a creek on the camp property and conducted a creek litter cleanup.
The AWCC was very excited to be partner with the ULL AmeriCorps program and was happy to be able to give back to Camp Grant Walker. Many AWCC members attended 4-H camp as children and now spend summers teaching wetland education lessons to current campers.
This program is sponsored by the AWCC and the LSU AgCenter.
