Wanna hear a scary story? Despite our best planning, not everything can be perfect every hitch. Sometimes you lose a work glove. Sometimes you realize a minute too late that there's poison ivy right next to where you dug a cathole.

Big news! Our Veterans Fire Crew is BACK!!! 🔥

For the last few years, our VFC has run in the winter, but this year we are running a September-December program, still based out of New River Gorge in West Virginia and still receiving the same trainings from both ACC and NPS personnel. We are excited to bring back this program in a season where they can do the most good for the project partners and our public lands.

Are you a recent-era veteran looking for a career in the outdoors? Do you know someone who fits that description? Apply here: https://secure8.entertimeonline.com/ta/conservationlegacy.careers?ShowJob=721954752, and please reach out to us with any questions!

This Earth Day we might be Out Of Office, but just know that it's for a good reason!

While our staff do a lot of office work behind the scenes, our biggest impacts on our community and our earth are out of the office. Sometimes we're serious and sometimes we're silly, but we're always commited to serving our public lands.
