What type of training do your corpsmembers receive?
Our reputation of providing quality service is key to why, after 26 years, CCNB has remained an award-winning, community-based organization. As a job training program the two most important things we teach our corpsmembers are safety and professionalism.
Corpsmembers are trained in the use of hand and power tools including:
- Chainsaw (felling and bucking)

- Bobcat
- Brushcutter
- Pole Saw
- And many more
Corpsmembers must complete rigorous training and demonstrate responsibility before using each new tool. We have an excellent safety record and are fully insured. Sponsoring parties can be named as additionally insured under our coverage.
I'm a public agency. Can the Conservation Corps North Bay help find funding for my project?
Yes, we can help find funding for large projects. We have successfully worked with many agencies to submit and win foundation and government grants to support work on many projects.
