New members of the Chesapeake Conservation Corps are being announced.

The Chesapeake Bay Trust is announcing 42 new participants in the program on Tuesday in Edgewater. They will spend the next year working to improve the environment and local communities.

The program provides career and leadership training for young people interested in environmental careers.
