The Land Conservation Leaders (LCL) Program is a team-based leadership experience. LCL participants (called Corpsmembers) begin the program with two weeks of in-house training and seven weeks of field-based training and projects. They then transition to Crew Leader* roles for the Summer of Service and Fall Forestry seasons. LCLs lead environmental stewardship projects on public lands throughout the Denver metro area. Projects include trail construction and maintenance, fire mitigation, habitat restoration, fencing and park development. Corpsmembers will be enrolled in AmeriCorps—a national community service program.
