Public Land Corps
The Public Land Corps (PLC) is a work and education program for young people and veterans that is run by the United States land management agencies in association with state conservation and service corps. The objective is the rehabilitation and restoration of public land resources and infrastructure. The Public Land Corps was authorized by the National and Community Service Trust Act on May 27, 1993, H.R. 2328. The 21st Century Conservation Service Corps Act in 2019 allowed Public Land Corps to partner with more federal agencies on conservation and restoration projects and created the Indian Youth Service Corps within the Public Land Corps. The state organizations recruit young Americans between ages 16 to 30, inclusive, to join the Public Land Corps. The Corps offers Participants repair or construct parks trails, removing invasive species, restore historic buildings, and conduct other projects.
