Earth Conservation Corps empowers youth from stressed communities through service learning, habitat restoration, and environmental education.
"Conservation begins with the boots on your feet"
-Dr. Dian Fossey
Across thirty years, our young volunteers have demonstrated that restoring habitats, assisting field biologists, and caring for a raptor ambassador is a transformative experience that inspires a lifelong connection to nature and reconnection to self.
