EarthCorps Programs - Leadership Trainings and Worldwide Conservation Projects
THE EARTHCORPS DIFFERENCE
At EarthCorps, we believe in the power of people to tackle the most pressing challenges facing our world. EarthCorps is the only accredited conservation corps that has both AmeriCorps and international participants who build close-knit community through restoring our natural world.
Puget Sound is our classroom and our legacy.
EarthCorps is located in the heart of the Pacific Northwest: Seattle, Washington. Here, we watch the sun rise over the Cascade Mountains in the east, and then set behind the Olympic Mountains to the west. Everything that we do affects the health of Puget Sound – the large body of saltwater that sustains our region.
EarthCorps has three Corps Programs: EarthCorps Crew, EarthCorps Volunteer, and EarthCorps Specialist.
Projects include, but are not limited to:
- Invasive plant control – both manually and with herbicide application
- Native plant installation
- Trail construction
- Stream and salmon habitat restoration
- Slope stabilization and erosion control
Workshop and training topics include:
- Basic Pacific Northwest botany and ecology
- Environmental restoration theories and concepts
- Natural resource management
- Interpersonal and cross-cultural communication
