Big shoutout to the Southeast Conservation Corps fall trail crew hard at work on boardwalk demolition and rebuilding along the Yockanookany Section of the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail in Jackson, MS! This crew is the third in just two years to work along this stretch of trail, continuing a strong partnership with the Natchez Trace Parkway that has welcomed 16 crews over the last five years. Leading the way this fall are Jorge and Liv, who both started with SECC (pic #1 and #2) on our Leadership Development Crew and even worked on the Trace during that time. Now, they’ve traded their yellow hard hats for blue as they take on the role of crew leaders! Swipe to see the bridge demo and rebuild from start to finish >> (fb)

From the deserts of the Southwest to the hills of Appalachia, our public lands are as diverse as they are beautiful. No matter their shape or size, these lands belong to all of us and our members across Conservation legacy are privileged to care for them. Today, on #PublicLandsDay, we celebrate these shared treasures and the responsibility we have to protect them for generations to come. Check out some iconic shots taken on public lands during service terms! #publiclandsday #conservation #landstewards Arizona Conservation Corps Conservation Corps New Mexico Conservation Corps North Carolina Southeast Conservation Corps Southwest Conservation Corps Stewards Individual Placements Appalachian Conservation Corps Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps (fb)
