Julia Predmore, 23, has been with the CCC’s Tahoe Center since January.

The CCC contingent will leave Aug. 20 for Melbourne to work in the states of Victoria and Queensland until Oct. 17. Projects will likely include tree planting, non-native plant removal and habitat protection for several endangered marsupials.

A group of Australians is expected to visit in November to work in California at several CCC locations.

CCC participants pay their own airfare; room and board is deducted from their Corps salaries
