NorthWoods Alumni

Many of our alum joined our ranks through participation in our Conservation Corps and Education programs, and more recently through our Conservation Science crews and Forestry internships. Since the founding of our youth Conservation Corps or ‘Kingdom Corps’ in 1995, NorthWoods staff and crews have worked with thousands of local young people throughout the Northeast and completed over 250,000 hours of conservation and community service work throughout the region.

Whether you were on the local crews here at NorthWoods, deep in the woods with the Backcountry Crew, or on one of our YCC crews working with the US Fish and Wildlife Service at locations around the region, NorthWoods alumni have a special bond that speaks to a common experience. These experiences: working on the trail, planting trees in the rain, camping out with kids, or finishing a job well done are as unique as the crews that made them.

Feel like reconnecting with NorthWoods and other alum, including your fellow crew members from years’ past? Send us your info! We want to hear from you! Our alumni program is here to engage past crew members, provide updates on current initiatives, and create a professional support network for our alumni. Most importantly, we look forward to catching up and learning more about your personal path in life and how the NorthWoods experience may have shaped your decision-making.
