Description
For decades, America’s Service and Conservation Corps have partnered with local, state, and federal transportation and resource management authorities to complete critical trail and transportation infrastructure projects. Corps are embedded in their communities and serve as common-sense partners for transportation and resource management agencies. They are cost-effective, show up ready to work, and manage their own crews, insurance, and recruitment while helping to increase your staff capacity.
The Corps Network, the National Association of Service and Conservation Corps, in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration and their cooperative agreement, will discuss how trail and transportation professionals can utilize Corps to complete critical recreational trail work in a cost-effective manner and help develop the next generation of diverse trail, transportation, and recreation professionals.
