Sponsored by The Nature Conservancy of Georgia as part of the Conservation Involving Today’s Youth (CITY) program, a group of Student Conservation Association (SCA) Interns completed a month-long internship maintaining trails and greenspace in the Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area.
This paid internship brought five students from four Atlanta-area high schools into the National Heritage Area and other sites around Atlanta, teaching them job skills and supporting park rangers.

Dominated by two granite outcrops, the Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area offers natural wonders, compelling history and heart-pumping activity. This nationally significant landscape includes vibrant history, breathtaking beauty and intriguing cultural changes from early settlers to immigrant rock cutters, Trappist monks and one of the oldest African-American communities in Georgia.
