Nurturing Successful Young Adults Through Land Conservation

By weaving together leadership development, teamwork, civic engagement, work skills training, and direct service to lands and communities, Montana Conservation Corps helps teens and young adults develop competencies for achieving success. In return, corps members protect wild places like Yellowstone, Glacier, the Bob Marshall Wilderness, and local trails and parks, delivering over 400,000 hours of service on public lands each year. To support this work, BNSF Railway Foundation recently contributed to the organization.
