Overview

The California Conservation Corps partners with CAL FIRE, U.S. Forest Service, county agencies, fire safe councils, and other organizations to improve the health of California’s forests. Corpsmembers enrolled CCC’s Forestry Corps Program complete an array of projects such as planting young trees, collecting cones and seeds, and removing invasive and/or fire-prone vegetation.

Corpsmembers enrolled in the program receive arborist training and certifications. Professional development courses, offered in collaboration with industry and community college partners, also prepare young adults for future careers in forestry. Overall, this program supports workforce development while also providing tangible benefits to state responsibility areas and high fire hazard severity zones.
