WEC Road Crews

October 30, 2024

The Work Ethic Camp road crews took to the highway and traveled to Curtis, Nebraska to support the Nebraska Forest Service with forest fuels reduction efforts.

Road crews also deep cleaned machinery for Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) oil trucks and fit mats for the trucks at the Red Willow Fairgrounds. #CommunitySupport #MeaningfulWorkTrajectories #PositiveSocialEngagementRead more
