Wakefield Interns and HP Youth Corp Climb Blue Hill

After working together in early July on a woodland clearing project, the Wakefield Interns and HP Youth Conservation Corp spent a day climbing Great Blue Hill. Don McCasland, Program Director for the Blue Hill Observatory, led the hike, sharing the history of GBH and its legacy and development by earlier conservation workers from the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corp, a Works Progress Administration initiative) and the SCA (Student Conservation Association). After reaching the top, McCasland and other Blue Hill Observatory staff gave the students a tour of the historic weather station.
