How Do We #ServetheEarth on Native Lands?

On Earth Day, the AmeriCorps Southwest Conservation Corps’ Ancestral Lands program will engage community volunteers for a trash cleanup at Mentmore Park in Gallup, New Mexico. 

The Ancestral Lands program engages Native youth and young adults in meaningful conservation projects on Native Lands. With programs in Acoma Pueblo and Navajo Nation, Ancestral Lands members have been working on projects from historical preservation, chainsaw crews, hiking clubs, stream restoration, fencing, trail construction, and more. The Ancestral Lands program also aims to incorporate traditional culture and language as part of crew lifestyle and project work.
