Request for Proposals (RFP)

The Department of Ecology’s Washington Conservation Corps encourages state and federal agencies, and non-profit organizations to apply. Please select the type of assistance you require (i.e. Field Crews or Environmental Restoration/Education IP) and click on the corresponding link.

Field Crews. The WCC anticipates funding to provide matching funds for field crews. The mission of the WCC is to conserve and enhance the natural resources of Washington State and provide young adults an opportunity to enrich themselves through meaningful work and community service. Our goal is to complete critical projects that restore salmon, steelhead, and trout populations to healthy harvestable levels, construct or maintain recreational assets, or otherwise improve the natural resources in the state.

Field crews are available to work with public and non-profit entities to support on-the-ground natural resource improvements. Download Application Guidelines (word)

Environmental Restoration/Education Individual Placement (IP) Program. The WCC anticipates funding to place individual WCC Members with organizations to help accomplish Habitat Restoration/Enhancement & Environmental Education. The WCC will not, however, be requesting new sponsor proposals for the 2009-2010 cycle. Please check back in with us in May-June 2010.

Please feel free to call or e-mail any questions you might have regarding the process. For crew information, please contact Nick Mott at (360) 407-6946 or e-mail at nmot461@ecy.wa.gov. For information about our Individual Placement program, please contact Kevin Farrell.
