Arizona Conservation Corps

AZCC engages young adults and recent era military veterans with conservation service work projects on public lands.

In 2014, Coconino Rural Environment Corps and Southwest Conservation Corps Sonoran Desert Region joined to form the Arizona Conservation Corps (AZCC), which now operates conservation service programs across Arizona that empower individuals to positively impact their lives, their communities and the environment. AZCC has program offices in Flagstaff and Tucson. Arizona Conservation Corps, a program

of Conservation Legacy, aims to continue the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s. AZCC is focused on connecting youth, young adults and recent era military veterans with conservation service work projects on public lands. Our programs promote personal growth, experiential learning and an ethic of natural resource stewardship while incorporating the guiding principles of community, dedication, challenge, integrity and FUN!

Our IP staff and members have been keeping busy! From tabling at the Governor’s "Youth Commission Pathways to Sustainability” event, tabling at the Liberty Wildlife Wish Tree Earth Day event, and attending other conservation focused events within the state.

Samantha Foster, the Urban Forestry Program Coordinator, had the opportunity to table the earth day event at Liberty Wildlife. This event celebrated community and care for wildlife and was a great opportunity for AZCC to connect with members of the community!

Crew 396 has spent much of their spring season working in Pecos, New Mexico! During their third hitch, they completed fuels mitigation by removing trees to create and maintain a fire break and lower the risk of wildfire at Pecos National Historical Park. This hitch, they covered over 4 acres! 🌲

The crew also had the opportunity to tour the Pecos Pueblo and connect with the local nature, as they were camped right by the Pecos River. As one member put it, "taking time to be with your environment on a hitch is worth a lot."

If you're interested in getting into this type of outdoor work, keep an eye on our website for some upcoming crew positions coming soon 👀

Crew 395 is spending much of their season constructing and maintaining trails in the Coconino National Forest! During their last hitch, they completed rock work, built drainage systems to manage water flow and prevent erosion, and cleared brush and debris to keep the trails accessible. There’s so much detail and science that goes into trailwork, and this crew has got it down! Thank you Crew 395 for all your incredible work!

During this past training cycle, AZCC crew members from Tucson and Flagstaff helped build part of a new mountain bike trail for the state NICA championship race. Their efforts created over 2,500 feet of the Ubuntu Trail! Last weekend, AZCC staff returned for the grand opening and even got to ride the trail!

Big thank you to the Tonto National Forest, Payson's Parks and Recreation, and AZCC crew members for making this happen!
