"Your support and dollars help rebuild the San Bernardino National Forest by restoring burn areas from wildfires, restore hundreds of miles of multi-use trails, bring balance back to ecosystems, mitigate erosion and thin private properties to create defensible space and healthier communities. We accomplish this work through a Conservation Corps of at-risk urban and mountain youth, ages 11-24. In the process, we are preparing them for careers in conservation, forestry and natural resource protection while building healthier lifestyles and decision making.  Thank you and become a member today!"
