Description & Services
| Description | Credit Valley Conservation offers a week long volunteer program for youth and students during July and August called Conservation Youth Corps program (CYC). Volunteers are mentored by CVC staff and travel across the watershed to take part in hands-on, environmental stewardship and restoration work.
