Groundwork USA Bridgeport Weir Farm | Apply Online

Opportunity Information: Apply for P13AS00091

The Groundwork USA Bridgeport Weir Farm grant opportunity involves a funding announcement from the National Park Service (NPS) intending to award $32,000 for project activities aimed at training underserved youth in environmental conservation. The project will run until July 5, 2014, under a task agreement and is part of a cooperative effort to enhance cultural and natural resource conservation.

Groundwork USA Bridgeport will manage a program where a youth work crew, led by a Youth Leader, will learn about garden rehabilitation, trail repair, dry stone wall construction, invasive plant management, and field edge restoration. This initiative not only focuses on practical skills but also includes classroom instruction exploring career opportunities in the NPS and fostering environmental and cultural awareness.

The NPS will provide essential support, including funding for transportation, leader compensation, and insurance, while also ensuring that the youth gain knowledge and hands-on experience related to their tasks. The decision not to open the opportunity for full competition is based on Groundwork USA's unique qualifications, including their extensive past collaboration with NPS and their commitment to conservation.

The statutory authority for this grant derives from 16 U.S.C. 1g, allowing the NPS to enter cooperative agreements to benefit public purposes consistent with their mission.
