Conservation Legacy

The National Park Service Faces a Continued Threat of Wildfires Damaging Our Structures and Improvements, Natural and Cultural Resources, and Adjoining Private Land and Communities. This Project Will Engage a Womens Fire Crew (WFC) to Help Reduce and Mitigate the Risk of These Catastrophic Wildland Fires. This Will Be Accomplished Through Response, Rehabilitation, Assessment, Planning, Implementation, Monitoring, Treatment, and Maintenance of Hazardous Fuels Reduction and Other Wildland Fire Management Activities. the Project Will Provide for a Training and Workforce Development Program With an Emphasis on Wildland Fire Management and Natural Resource Skills. the WFC Will Receive All the Required Training to Become NWCG Qualified Wildland Firefighters, Which Will Allow Them to Apply for Wildland Fire Positions With Multiple Agencies Nation-wide. the Knowledge and Skills Acquired Will Also Allow Them to Apply for Resource Management Positions With Multiple Agencies.
