Earth One team wraps up trail work

After about two and a half weeks of heavy work, the AmeriCorps NCCC team, Earth One, has been rewarded a plaque in recognition to the trails they have helped build and maintain with the Cumberland Trail Conference. The ceremony was held at Frozen Head State Park, where the team spoke of their time working with the CTC.

“It’s been a pretty amazing experience. I’ve enjoyed all of it! It’s been a lot of hard work, but really rewarding. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in!” was Samuel Backus’ response when asked how he has found his experience working on trails.

Kate Strang spoke of the importance of trail building. “It’s an extremely significant way to learn about the environment. It’s an experience that truly lasts a lifetime.”

When approached by Frozen Head’s park ranger, David Inglebretson, he called the team a “modern day Civilian Community Corps.” He commented that he has recently taken his volunteers to one of the trails that Earth One had completed and used the trail as an example of what trail building consists of.

AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps is a program with young adults from ages 18 to 24, who have joined to complete ten months of varied community services. These services include environmental and educational services, along with disaster relief, homeland security, and unmet human needs. Each AmeriCorps NCCC member works hard within those ten months to complete 1,700 hours of these said services. The team, Earth One, was fortunate to spend their first project (out of four) with Tennessee’s Cumberland Trail Conference. Their team consists of ten members and their base is collated in Denver, CO, one of the five existing AmeriCorps NCCC bases.
