An interactive journal for SCA Alumni and Friends, August 2008
Conservation happens right where you live. It’s not just an ideal in a remote location. Whether you live in the beautiful expanses near Yellowstone or in downtown Houston, the need to connect with the land and our communities is essential. SCA addresses this vital link in our community-based Conservation Leadership Corps (CLC) programs. Find out more in this issue. As always, we welcome your feedback.

The sun rises in Yellowstone National Park, casting its rays over snow-bent lodgepole pines encircling geothermal pockets of mist in an otherwise uninterrupted, snow-blanketed landscape. It’s an exhibition that can only be described as nature’s art gallery.

As SCA recruiter Beth McCarthy scurries across the campus of Iowa State University, the cold Midwest wind blows across her face, freezing her omnipresent smile. She squints her watery eyes at a campus map and after a moment of head turning, locates her building.

 The applications are pouring in for SCA high school crews and internships. We have thousands of qualified, passionate young people eager to get out and make a difference in our parks, forests and green spaces. But we need your help to make it happen. Your donation will enable us to send as many SCA volunteers as possible into the field this season. Won’t you help us help them today?
