Opportunity Summary:
The Ecosystem Restoration in Great Basin National Park opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00128) is a National Park Service discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity area (CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship). The core purpose of the project is to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire threatening natural resources, park infrastructure, and developed visitor areas, especially campgrounds. Work is focused around key resource areas that include Baker Creek, Strawberry Creek, and Gray Cliffs Campgrounds, along with numerous springs and water supplies, and major vegetation communities such as sagebrush, ponderosa pine, aspen, and riparian ecosystems.
The project scope is primarily hands-on fuels reduction and restoration work. Over the life of the agreement, the park anticipates roughly 400 acres will be mechanically treated through thinning and associated operations like chipping slash, piling material, and seeding native plant species to support site recovery. Treatment units will be flagged and clearly marked, and the on-the-ground work will be carried out according to prescriptions developed jointly by the National Park Service and the selected recipient, reflecting the cooperative nature of the award. Depending on qualifications, participating crews may also be involved in hazardous tree removal within campgrounds and may assist with prescribed burning, which indicates the project can include higher-risk technical tasks for properly trained and certified staff.
A defining feature of this cooperative agreement is its youth conservation corps style model. The program is designed to engage youth participants ages 15 to 25 in conservation and stewardship work, including cutting trees and other vegetation, hauling and piling fuel wood, seeding native plants, and chipping or piling slash consistent with approved prescriptions. Ecological settings mentioned for treatments include pinyon-juniper woodlands, mountain mahogany stands, aspen areas, and riparian corridors, suggesting that the work is intended both to reduce hazardous fuels and to improve ecosystem resilience across several habitat types that respond differently to fire and disturbance.
The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). Estimated total funding is listed at $200,000, with an award ceiling of $38,000 and an award floor of $0, and it includes a cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The announcement was posted June 12, 2014, with a closing date of July 3, 2014, and it was archived October 1, 2014. Additional details and the full announcement were made available via Grants.gov, and the listed contact for access issues is Susan Erickson, Grants Management Specialist, at (702) 293-8771 or SusanErickson@nps.gov.
