July 15, 2019 | During the summer of 2019 SECC fielded its first ever all-female Women’s Conservation Corps Youth Crews.

May 23, 2019 | It's hard saying goodbye to family, so we'll just say "see ya later".

April 13, 2019 | There are wild turkeys calling. In the predawn light we can here their throaty voices, floating to us over the tall, misty grasses of Cowpens National Battlefield in South Carolina. It is the third hitch and Spring has finally begun to show it's colors.

March 30, 2019 | Stretching and groaning, I attempt to rinse out the day before’s workload and emerge out from my cozy sleeping bag into the cold of dawn. As I slowly make the bold transition from dream state to reality, I remember how lucky I am to be where I am, waking up with the wilderness.

March 28, 2019 | Our crew had a wonderful time this week in Athens, GA working at Sandy Creek Park with Athens-Clark County (ACC). 

March 20, 2019 | A lot has happened in the last month for the crew. We attended fire school at the Cohutta Springs conference center, we were apart of a prescribed burn, and we traveled to South Carolina for our first assignment as red carded firefighters.

March 19, 2019 |  It's raining   It's cold   I'm tired

February 15, 2019 | I feel like I’m apart of this really exclusive club and when I’m done, I’ll be able to benefit others with the experiences I’m having now. I’m looking forward to starting the class portion of this program, and then getting out on a fire. I don’t know what that’s like yet, but I hear its addictive, and I’m ready to get to work.
