  • About Us

    Created in 2015 as a Governor’s Initiative, the Excelsior Conservation Corps (ECC) is a ten-month residential AmeriCorps program that partners with the NYS Commission on National and Community Services, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYS OPRHP), and the NYS Environmental Facilities Corporation (NYSEFC).

    From February through December, members of the Excelsior Conservation Corps will work on NYSDEC and NYSOPRHP land, completing high priority projects across New York State. A typical field project or “hitch” will consist of collaborating as part of a 10 person crew for 5-10 days while living outdoors in a front country location.
