Cultural preservation work is conservation work 🌾
Our Eastern crew at Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge is doing habitat work and partnered with the Wichita Tribe on a cultural preservation initiative, preparing and binding native grass for traditional thatched grass houses.
It’s a great example of our work reaching beyond the project itself to support the communities and partners connected to these landscapes.

Hello Logan Reabuck! Logan`s an ACE member working with the Traditional Trades Advancement Program (TTAP) at Andrew Johnson National Historic Site 🇺🇸
Logan`s part of a Maintenance Action Team rehabilitating the Andrew Johnson National Cemetery, from installing lightning protection on historic witness trees to headstone care and grounds maintenance. As a veteran himself, the work carries extra weight.
"As a veteran, being around other vets and their spouses means a little more to me. And what I do, I like preserving history. That`s why I`m here. And that`s, I think, my purpose."
Logan`s working toward a bachelor`s in history and hopes to build a career with the @nationalparkservice. "I`ve learned so much that I`ll take with me everywhere I go."
