Veterans Conservation Corps

Veterans Conservation Corps VCC Mission: Serve those who served by providing veterans with self-directed connections to the lands, waters, and communities in WA State.

The VCC provides opportunities for veterans to do meaningful work in conserving and restoring natural ecosystems with our environmental conservation and agricultural community partner organizations. We support veterans in establishing and maintaining healthy reciprocal relationships with nature and their community so that through their own efforts they may increase their self-efficacy and resilien

cy and realize a positive shift in their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. To further support their efforts, VCC interns receive training and resources on veteran-related topics that empower them to address and overcome any challenges that they may experience in their transition from the military.

Getting started in gardening or farming? 🌱 Learn the foundations of healthy soil and sustainable growing with this upcoming Soil Health 101 training: https://washingtonsoilhealthinitiative.com/2026/03/soil-health-101/

Many Veteran farmers are leading the way in sustainable and regenerative agriculture—prioritizing soil health, stewardship, and long-term impact. Understanding how soil functions and what supports its health is a critical first step for anyone looking to grow food, care for the land, or start a farming journey.

This training is open to everyone, but may be especially valuable for Veterans working the land or exploring agriculture as a path forward. Regenerative agriculture is rooted in giving back—supporting communities, restoring ecosystems, and building meaningful connections with the land.

🌾 Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your knowledge, this is a great opportunity to dig in and grow.
