Crew Application

The crew is led by a Grinnell College student who coordinates the program activities and works alongside the crew. Program History
|
"The practice of conservation must spring from a conviction of what is ethically and asethetically right, as well as what is economically expedient. A thing is right only when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the community; and the community includes the soil, waters, fauna, and flora, as well as people."
-Aldo Leopold
