The Appalachian Conservation Corps (ACC) is an organization dedicated to engaging young adults in conservation service projects that benefit public lands and local communities. With a focus on the Appalachian region, the ACC provides opportunities for individuals to develop leadership skills, gain hands-on experience in environmental stewardship, and contribute to the preservation of natural resources.

The ACC operates under the umbrella of Conservation Legacy, a national organization that supports local conservation service programs. Participants in the ACC programs work on a variety of projects, including trail maintenance, habitat restoration, and invasive species management. These projects not only enhance the environment but also promote outdoor recreation and education.
