Are you a young person or know a young person who has a passion for nature? Are you tired of reading and hearing about what is wrong with the environment, and want to actually do something about it?
Consider the Student Conservation Association as an outlet for your desire to help conserve our wild places. SCA offers National and Urban Community programs, internships and the chance to be a Conservation Corp member.
“[Conservation] Corps members spend 3-10 months devoted to critical environmental issues such as wildfire management and education, trail restoration and maintenance, environmental education, and invasive species eradication. This is a great opportunity to give back while you learn from the land on the land. Join the many SCA Corps volunteers who know, there’s work to be done. Teamwork. Leadership. This is real get-your-hands-dirty conservation.”
There are projects in the Hudson Valley and the Adirondacks, but also all over the United States. There are: Desert Restoration Corps, SCA Trail Corps, Sustainability Corps and Fire Corps.
