Dear Ross and the Conservation Corps Team:
I would like to offer my congratulations to the Conservation Corps on the reception of the Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence from Governor Peter Shumlin.
This award signifies the outstanding work that the Conservation Corps has done to provide Vermont’s youth with enriching outdoor experiences helping preserve our natural resources. The service that the Conservation Corps and NorthWoods have provided for the state over the past 20 years is truly commendable. You have dedicated yourselves to preserving Vermont’s natural beauty and protecting its environment, and for that, I thank you.
I join with your friends, families, and the community in congratulating you on this award. Keep up the great work!
Sincerely,
Bernard Sanders
United States Senator
