Overview: The Ancestral Lands Program was developed by Ecoculture specifically for Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps (AL Corps) to run in tandem with a 6-month conservation corps field experience. The goal of the Program is to enrich conservation corps experience by adding an accredited educational component that adds ecological and cultural context to conservation work conducted by AL Corps members. Upon completion of the Program, AL Corps members will have a clear understanding of ecological conditions throughout the Colorado Plateau and have the ability to develop creative conservation plans from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives. It is the goal of the program to inspire further action, study, research, careers, and entrepreneurship in expanding the culture of conservation inherent in Native American traditions.
