Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Exotic Plant treatment and restoration of Grasslands in Northern Great Plains National Park Units NOI" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AC00758) is a National Park Service discretionary funding announcement intended to support hands on exotic plant management and native grassland restoration across multiple National Park Service units in the Northern Great Plains. The work is set up as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service and the selected partner are expected to coordinate closely on planning, implementation, and oversight rather than operating in a simple purchaser contractor relationship.
The project focus is controlling invasive or non native ("exotic") plants and restoring affected grassland habitats through a structured, multi phase approach carried out at several park sites. The Minnesota Conservation Corps is identified in the description as the organization that will perform plant management and restoration work, using field teams that include PLC members who will gain practical experience and build understanding of invasive species control, native seed supply development, and restoration techniques. The effort spans multiple years and emphasizes not only initial treatment but also follow up monitoring and subsequent restoration, recognizing that successful invasive plant control and grassland recovery usually require repeat visits and adaptive management.
Work would occur at six National Park Service units: Badlands National Park, Fort Union Trading Post National Historical Site, Knife River Indian Villages National Historical Park, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, Scotts Bluff National Monument, and Agate Fossil Beds National Monument. Each site is expected to undergo a sequence of roughly two to three phases. First, crews conduct weed management in selected areas to reduce or remove targeted exotic plant populations. Second, the project includes native seed collection and "grow out" activities to increase the availability of locally appropriate native seed, which is often a limiting factor for large scale restoration in grassland systems. Third, the treated areas are restored using native species to re establish desirable plant communities and reduce the likelihood of reinvasion. Monitoring is explicitly part of the multi year approach, supporting evaluation of treatment effectiveness and informing additional control or reseeding as needed.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized under Education and Environment and is linked to CFDA (assistance listing) 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," reflecting the dual goals of resource stewardship and youth or corps based workforce development. The funding details indicate one expected award with a fixed amount: estimated total funding of 83,010 dollars, with an award ceiling and floor both set at 83,010 dollars. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which can reduce barriers for eligible nonprofit applicants.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education. The notice was posted July 1, 2013, created the same day, and had an original and current closing date of July 11, 2013, with an archive date of August 10, 2013. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Katie Schroeder, Grants Officer, at phone number 402 661 1640. The announcement references Grants.gov as the source for additional information and full application materials.
