Sheriff’s Report
This year’s local Oregon Youth Conservation Corps (OYCC) crew (L-R): Kevin Smith, Tanner
Mills, Shayna Osmin and Cassi Hahn. The OYCC partnered again this year with the Umatilla
National Forest, Heppner District, providing funding for youth work crews to complete proj-
ects such as trail construction and maintenance, landscaping, planting, wetland restoration,
invasive weed removal, construction and gardening. Oregon’s OYCC was created in 1987 to
emulate the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930’s. -Contributed photo
