Southeast Conservation Corps

After their first month full of wilderness first aid training, chainsaw training, trails training, and fire training, SECC’s Land Between the Lakes Recreation and Fuels Reduction Crew jumped right into their project work in full swing!

From bucking logs for campground firewood to prepping over 7 miles of fire break along trails, crew 952 has been busy learning the ins and outs of both the fuels reduction and recreation departments in the park! The crew has even had some awesome opportunities to collaborate with a visiting Washington engine crew and LBL NRA archeologists! Finally, a huge highlight for the everyone has been conducting 2 prescribed burns covering over 1300 acres!

In such a short amount of time, crew 952 has already packed a punch. We are so proud of their accomplishments thus far and are excited to see how they continue to support the park. Kudos!
