Since 2009, HistoriCorps® has completed more than one hundred projects in National Forests across the country. Our projects are as varied as the forests themselves. From car-camping in the northeast, to hike-in wilderness areas; from forest fire look-out tower to grand lodges near the northern border, there is no shortage of options to choose from.
When: Many opportunities, from January to November.
Who: No experience necessary. Minimum age is 14. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
