For eight weeks this summer, the Native American youth crew from Capacity Builders, Inc. worked on trails maintenance, routine painting, carpentry, and rock wall building at both Canyon de Chelly National Monument and Navajo National Monument.
During the first few days of orientation, the crew got to know each other, learn about the park’s rich history, and explore the resources at Canyon de Chelly National Monument. Interns working at the park site also had the chance to meet with crew members and offer advice and assistance. Rangers shared with the youth the importance of preserving and protecting these unique cultural and natural resources that are in their very own backyards.
