Field Crews

During the spring, summer, and fall, the Utah Conservation Corps sends crews of 4-8 AmeriCorps members to conduct trail and restoration projects in Utah national parks and forests. As a UCC AmeriCorps crew member, you can find yourself anywhere from the desert silence of Utah's red rock country to the remote alpine wilderness of the Wasatch mountains.

As part of their experience, summer UCC field crew members earn college credit through Utah State University's Department of Environment and Society.
