Eastern Sierra Conservation Corp Fights to Maintain Trails Amidst Financial Struggles

The Eastern Sierra Conservation Corp (ESCC), a dedicated volunteer groupme, is facing financial hurdles while maintaining trails and training conservationists. Despite budget cuts and staffing issues affecting public lands, ESCC has made significant strides since its inception in 2016.

ESCC has tirelessly maintained over 250 miles of trail and removed more than 500 logs, ensuring safe and accessible paths for visitors. The group's impact extends beyond trail upkeep; it has trained hundreds of diverse members, many of whom have gone on to pursue careers in conservation. However, rising fuel, gear, and insurance costs are putting a strain on ESCC's budget car rental. The public can support ESCC's vital work by getting involved as a volunteer or making direct donations via their website.

ESCC's commitment to preserving America's public lands is commendable, especially amidst budget cuts and government shutdowns threatening trail conditions. Your support, whether through volunteering or donating, can help ESCC continue its crucial work and ensure these spaces remain accessible and well-maintained for future generations.
