Abstract: The Public Lands Corps is a work and education program involving the nation’s land management agencies, conservation and service corps, and environmental organizations that contribute to the rehabilitation, restoration, and repair of public lands resources and infrastructures. Public Lands Corps projects provide opportunities for community and national public service,work experience and training for young people who are unemployed or underemployed persons,students, recent graduates, and others with an interest in natural and cultural resources careers. The Agency has developed a tracking sheet (FS-1800-0026, Public Lands Corps Participant Tracking Sheet)to support the effective management of the Public Lands Corps Program. The utilization of the Public Lands Corps Tracking Sheet will assist the Agency in ensuring qualified program participants lawfully receive a certificate of non-competitive hiring eligibility,which can be used to apply to Forest Service merit announcements on USAJobs.
