It takes tremendous grit and passion for a member of a trail crew to thrive. Though the days may be long, the physical demands arduous, and the unexpected challenges difficult to navigate, one thing is for sure: serving on a trail crew guarantees an unforgettable experience.

ESCC members gain hands-on job training while undertaking essential conservation projects in public lands. Crew members learn a range of new skills including those needed to accomplish the projects, tricks for thriving in the backcountry, and interpersonal skills that ensure the team’s success.
