NORTHWEST — Julie Kern, a graduate of Hudson’s Bay High School and Western Washington University, has been working on an eight-week trail building project for the city of Casa Grande, Ariz. She’s with a team of nine other members of AmeriCorps, the residential national service program for young adults.
They are building five miles of trail on the 1,025-acre Casa Grande Mountain. Kern has already been to Greensburg, Kan., where she helped rebuild after a devastating tornado. Kern’s next destination, after a debrief at an AmeriCorps headquarters in Denver, is the Fort Davis Historic Site in Texas.
