“My favorite part has been seeing quickly the difference we’re making,” said Cassidy Wallace. “Removing invasive species and welcoming native species back into the forest has been really rewarding.”

From trapping feral hogs to treating invasive plants, SECC Individual Placements Patrick and Cassidy are helping restore and protect the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest alongside their U.S. Forest Service counterparts.

🎓Congratulations to SECC’s Winter Trails crew on completing their season!

From day one, this team showed up with high energy and determination and over the course of the season, they:
🌲 Felled 80+ trees and cleared miles of trail
🛠️ Built and restored trail systems across multiple project sites
🪨 Installed dozens of rock steps and drainage features
🌿 Completed reroutes, new tread, and full trail improvements

They rerouted trails and built staircases and helped improve access all while navigating cold weather, rain, and long days in the field.

Congratulations on an amazing season and all that you accomplished! 💪🌲

After their first month full of wilderness first aid training, chainsaw training, trails training, and fire training, SECC’s Land Between the Lakes Recreation and Fuels Reduction Crew jumped right into their project work in full swing!

From bucking logs for campground firewood to prepping over 7 miles of fire break along trails, crew 952 has been busy learning the ins and outs of both the fuels reduction and recreation departments in the park! The crew has even had some awesome opportunities to collaborate with a visiting Washington engine crew and LBL NRA archeologists! Finally, a huge highlight for the everyone has been conducting 2 prescribed burns covering over 1300 acres!

In such a short amount of time, crew 952 has already packed a punch. We are so proud of their accomplishments thus far and are excited to see how they continue to support the park. Kudos!
