June 18 – August 26, work on trails through the heart of the West Coast’s most remote wilderness areas. The Wilderness Conservation Corps (WCC) provides interns a powerful entry into a competitive work environment and career tracks in the outdoors.

Corps members complete challenging projects over the course of 10-day work hitches during which crews are self supported. Work across Southwest Oregon and Northwest California’s Siskiyou Mountains to help conserve the area’s world class trail networks. Interns utilize non-mechanized tools to complete trail restoration and maintenance projects while gaining job credentials and professional skills.

Includes remote enrichment period that starts May 1 and includes obtaining competency certificates from the Arthur Carhart Wilderness Institute and Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics. Also gain First Aid/CPR certificate and option to saw credential recognized by USDA Forest Service.

Interns get a break in July during which the Club coordinates a deeper exploration of the Pacific Northwest. Interns keep daily journals that culminates in video, photojournalistic, or other product that is made available to the public.
