Public Land Corps

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Public Land Corps (PLC) is a work and education program for young people that is run by the United States land management agencies in association with state conservation and service corps. The objective is the rehabilitation and restoration of public land resources and infrastructure. The Public Land Corps was authorized by the National and Community Service Trust Act on May 27, 1993, H.R. 2328.

The state organizations recruit young Americans between ages 16 to 30 to join the Public Land Corps.[1] The Corps offers

  • meaningful, full-time, productive work in a natural or cultural resource setting;
  • a mix of work experience, basic and life skills, education, training and support services; and
  • the opportunity to develop citizenship values and skills through service to their community and the United States.
  • a period of non-competitive hiring status for 2 years from the completion of their most recent Corps service.

Participants repair or construct parks trails, removing invasive species, restore historic buildings, and conduct other projects.

Public Land Corps programs are eligible for AmeriCorps grants.
