Since 1994, the SCA New Hampshire Conservation Corps has provided nearly 1 million hours of service on public lands and to the people of New Hampshire through a partnership with the New Hampshire Department of Natural and Cultural Resources and AmeriCorps.

Each year, program participants contribute tens of thousands of service hours, providing environmental education to the state’s residents and visitors, while completing conservation service projects that improve and protect the state’s recreational, environmental and cultural resources.

Throughout the program, participants also build leadership and technical skills in the conservation field, while developing their ethic of service and environmental stewardship.

Current Opportunities

The New Hampshire Conservation Corps is based within Bear Brook State Park at Spruce Pond Camp, developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps and Works Progress Administration in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Located in the middle of a 10,000-acre park, program participants have access to 40 miles of trails for exploring, making it an idyllic setting for living, learning and immersing oneself in all things nature and outdoor recreation.
