The Cooperative Agreement between the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) and American Trails outlines a multifaceted initiative to enhance trail resources and improve public access to information regarding wildlife trails.
Task 1 focuses on redesigning the American Trails website to create a more user-friendly experience. This involves developing a sophisticated Content Management System (CMS) capable of organizing and improving access to over 6,000 resource pages, allowing users to search by title, state, agency, category, and keywords.
Task 2 addresses National Recreation Trails (NRT) designations, promoting trails recognized for their local and regional significance. This task emphasizes the importance of trails for increasing public engagement with FWS lands, providing essential information and visibility for these routes.
Task 3 revolves around the National Trails Training Partnership (NTTP), aimed at equipping refuge managers and volunteers with the skills needed for sustainable trail development, especially in sensitive habitat areas. This collaboration focuses on training, education, and best practices across various agencies.
Task 4 emphasizes the need for technical assistance in trail management and information sharing. This includes documenting experiences of retiring staff and developing resources to support effective trail planning that considers wildlife and environmental impacts.
Task 5 highlights the importance of the International Trails Symposium, which serves as a significant forum for trail training, networking, and sharing successful practices in trail management and conservation.
Finally, Task 6 introduces the Hulet Hornbeck Emerging Leaders Scholarship Program, designed to support young individuals pursuing careers in trails and conservation. This initiative aims to enhance diversity and inclusivity in the field, providing mentoring opportunities and fostering the next generation of trail leaders.
Overall, the agreement seeks to enhance trail management, increase public engagement, and ensure sustainable practices through collaboration and education.Apply for F16AS00368
