The California Conservation Corps Greenwood Center, located in El Dorado County, is a residential facility that provides a unique opportunity for Corpsmembers to engage in forest health projects and culinary training. With a maximum capacity of 18 Corpsmembers, the center offers a rural setting with plenty of hiking and recreational opportunities. During the center's reconstruction, Corpsmembers reside in portable dormitory buildings and have access to a dining hall, kitchen, and a recreation-classroom building for off-hours activities. Corpsmembers at the Greenwood Center work on forest health projects in the greater El Dorado County area, focusing on reducing wildfire risk, tree planting, seed collection, and arborist training. The Forestry Corps crew typically works Monday through Thursday, while Culinary Corpsmembers work four 10-hour shifts during the week. With various training opportunities available, Corpsmembers gain valuable skills in chainsaw operation, tree climbing, wildland firefighting, and food preparation. The center's location also allows for camping near work sites, providing immersive experiences for Corpsmembers.Generated from the website
