MCC’s Conservation Fellow (CF) program makes a measurable difference in conservation efforts while strengthening the experience of young adults.

Projects include: climate resiliency, habitat restoration, rangeland science, soil monitoring, invasive species treatment, developed recreation management, GIS mapping, stream and wetland restoration, cave and karst feature surveys, conservation education and outreach, volunteer management and more. Along with serving their communities, Conservation Fellows make tangible contributions to climate change solutions while developing professional skills that directly transfer to a career in the natural resources field.
