Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument – Hagerman, ID
14 Weeks (560 HR): May 13, 2024 – August 23, 2024
Northwest Youth Corps (NYC):
Northwest Youth Corps was created in 1984 to offer teenagers and young adults an education-based, work experience modeled after the historic Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930’s. Today, we serve over 1,000 youth and young adults each year across a four-state region who restore critical habitat, build trails, lead volunteers, educate youth, and respond to local and national disasters.
Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument (HAFO):
Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument was established to preserve fossils from approximately 4 to 3 million years ago, during the mid to late Pliocene Epoch. The monument is significant for its variety, quantity, and quality of animal and plant fossils: a mix of “Ice Age favorites” like mastodons, saber-toothed cats, and giant ground sloths, that once lived alongside animals that can be found in Hagerman today, like horses, beavers, and many types of waterbirds. Hagerman is one of few sites with enough fossil variety and quantity to study past climates and ancient ecosystems. More about HAFO and its partner agency, Thousand Springs State Park (TSSP), found here: https://www.nps.gov/hafo/index.htm
