The 2026 Great Trails State Conference brought together trail professionals, government agencies, and nonprofits from across North Carolina, and CCNC was thrilled to be part of it! We loved connecting with partners, learning from others in the industry, and sharing our excitement about creating pathways for young professionals to build careers in trails.

Our Executive Director, Jessie Birckhead, also joined a partner panel hosted by MADE X MTNS where she spoke about developing career pathways in the trail building industry. Through paid training and hands-on experience, CCNC is working to help early-career professionals find their place in the trails community and build the skills they need for a career in the field.

A huge thanks to the Great Trails NC for hosting!

2026 Hayti Promise Youth Crews are helping with revitalization projects along the Fayetteville Street Corridor in Durham, NC.

One location this crew cleaned once housed Dr. Leroy Russell Swift, the first board certified OBGYN that served in the community. Once Dr. Swift passed away, the building was used as a dentist's office and social research center before ultimately being abandoned in the early 2010s.

Pre- rock drill training fun! CCNC prides ourselves in being able to provide members with skill development opportunities and breaking big rocks into smaller rocks is just one of the skills you could learn if you join.

We couldn't let the F1 and NASCAR drivers have all the fun this weekend.

Power Buggies are used by trail crews to move things in and out of the trail systems they’re working on. At Jones Lake State Park, they were used to help re-gravel trails to ensure accessibility.

A huge thanks to AmeriCorps, NC AmeriCorps, North Carolina State Parks and Recreation, and Conservation Legacy for making this happen!

In July, Colin Kane, our Blue Ridge Parkway Data Specialist Individual Placement, traveled to San Diego, California, to attend the 2026 ESRI User Conference, where GIS professionals from around the world gathered to share ideas, innovations, and solutions.

One of Colin's favorite sessions highlighted an urban forestry project in Greensboro, North Carolina, showcasing how GIS can support healthier, more resilient communities.

From expanding his technical knowledge to making valuable professional connections, the experience provided valuable workforce development opportunities that will benefit Colin throughout the rest of his service term and into his conservation career.

Thank you to ESRI for providing this incredible opportunity for Colin!

CCNC celebrated America’s 250th by honoring the two graduating Youth Crews and playing a celebratory game of hacky sack!

The Raleigh Youth Crew spent the first part of their summer removing invasive species, clearing trails, and helping with wildlife surveys in various Raleigh Parks!

In Durham, the Hayti Promise Youth Crew worked on revitalization projects along the Fayetteville Street Corridor by removing invasive species and clearing litter from historic locations in the community.

A huge thanks to Raleigh Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department and City of Durham, NC Government for making this work possible! We are looking forward to the next two sessions!
