The Franklin County Natural Resources Conservation District works hard behind the scenes to support our community and protect our shared environment. Our organization is built on partnerships and networking and we are looking for applicants to fill an AmeriCorps role focused on environmental stewardship, community education, and agricultural assistance. Truly, we would hope to be able to recruit from the Franklin County community as we believe there is a need to create positions like these for our own community members to fill.
