Conservation Legacy (CL) has a variety of individual placement programs throughout the country. These programs engage and place individuals into positions with federal, state and local management agencies and environmentally focused non-profits. Stewards complete one or more projects focused on natural resource management, inventory, assessment, restoration, and/or protection. Stewards may also help with outreach and education activities focused on environmental education and environmental stewardship. CL and partner sites provide opportunities for professional development and training as related to the specific position the Steward is engaged in. Stewards are responsible for their own housing unless otherwise indicated by a specific project partner.

Stewards are generally expected to spend between 36-40 hours a week completing environmental service projects, education sessions, and/or trainings. Positions that are primarily field based may require overnights in the field. In addition to service projects, education and training, members will also be asked to complete basic reporting requirements on a timely basis.

Locations
Stewards are placed and serve in locations throughout the country. Project partners include the National Park Service, National Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Office of Surface Mining, Bureau of Reclamation, US Fish, Wildlife Service, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and community based non-profits and local watershed organizations.
