Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a discretionary funding notice titled "Develop Seed and Nursery Plant Stock for NPS and Los Angeles Area Revegetation Projects" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00319). Although it appeared in the grants system with an original closing date of July 27, 2016, the notice is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public Notice of Intent to Award, meaning the NPS was announcing its plan to provide funding for a specific project through an already-existing cooperative agreement, rather than opening a competition for new applicants.
The planned award was expected to be a single cooperative agreement action (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $55,000. The funding activity aligns with the Natural Resources category and is listed under CFDA 15.931. The intent was to support an anticipated three-year financial assistance project carried out with North East Trees (also referenced as Northeast Trees), a nonprofit youth service organization. In practical terms, the project focus is on building up a reliable local supply of native plant materials, specifically seed and nursery stock, that can be used for revegetation and community restoration efforts in and around the upper Los Angeles River corridor and across northeast Los Angeles.
A central goal is to strengthen native plant revegetation capacity by developing local plant material sources suited to the area, which is often critical for restoration success because locally appropriate genetics and species selections can improve plant survival and ecosystem function. Alongside the plant production work, the project is designed to create hands-on youth service learning opportunities. That includes engaging young people in conservation-related work and simultaneously establishing practical protocols and an organizational framework that can support similar youth-centered conservation and restoration projects in the future. The emphasis on protocols and structure suggests the project is not only about producing plant stock in the near term, but also about building a repeatable model that can be scaled or replicated for ongoing restoration needs.
The opportunity also ties directly to an NPS outreach mission in urban Los Angeles. The notice frames the project as part of NPS efforts to involve local residents in conservation activities connected to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, particularly by fostering restoration work and stewardship in communities that border or influence the recreation area and its surrounding landscapes. In other words, the project blends ecological restoration objectives (native plant materials for revegetation) with community engagement objectives (youth service learning and broader urban conservation participation).
Finally, while the listing includes an eligible applicant category (nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), that information is largely procedural here because the announcement is not competitive. The NPS is simply providing notice that the funding will be directed to the named partner under a current cooperative agreement, rather than soliciting new proposals from the wider public.
