Youth will work together on conservation issues, learn from Native communities, build trails, enhance recreational opportunities, and restore their cultural and historic landmarks all in an effort to franchise the participants as stewards of the nation&apos;s lands, waters, and cultural heritage. The PLEP seeks to reach out to underserved populations to ensure that all Americans enjoy our natural and cultural resources.
