We had a hard working and dedicated YCC crew this year-Board member & YCC Director Jim Skinner, Project Coordinator,  Josh Wright and crew members Mason Bourget and Noah Marston. This summer the team completed nine lakeshore projects to prevent erosion and protect water quality. They installed dripline trenches, rubber razors (water diverters), dry wells, and mulched pathways, among other Best Management Practices.

Thanks to our 319-grant funding, YCC labor costs were covered this season, so homeowners only paid for materials—a big savings! Interested in how the YCC can help your property? Email YCC director Jim Skinner at YCC.tlea@gmail.com.

We are prospecting for new youth crew members for the 2026 season, if you, or someone you know is interested in a summer job focused on conservation efforts in the Thompson Lake watershed please contact office.tlea@gmail.com.
