Public Land Corps Act

The Public Land Corps Act creates a program that provides young people age 16 to 30 the opportunity to work on conservation projects on public lands. Participants must successfully complete 640 hours that include at least 120 hours on federal lands through the Public Lands Corp. PLC participants are not federal government employees, but those who successfully complete the PLC requirements are eligible to use, for two years, noncompetitive hiring status when applying to competitive service positions.
