Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the LICC Blog!

I just want to tell everyone that I am insanely excited to help LICC grow and develop over the next year! We have already had one kick off event this year and it was a great success. Nia Bartolocci, Jamie Cummins, Brooke Schober, Nick Teague and myself performed trail maintenance on the Watmough Bay trail and collected rocks and built a base for the day use BLM sign at the beach! What a magical spot, holy moly! Thank you to the radical women who helped out with our first event! Feeling left out? Don't! There will be more to come and you can stay tuned here at our blog or you can check out our facebook group:
