Opportunity Summary:
The "Headlands restoration" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00133) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary cooperative agreement focused on habitat restoration in the Marin Headlands area of Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA). It is tied to "Project Headlands," a broad set of road and trail construction efforts funded through the Federal Lands Highway Program. While most major construction work wrapped up by 2014, this award supports the follow-on work needed to restore disturbed habitats through revegetation and longer-term ecological recovery actions.
The task agreement centers on practical, on-the-ground restoration and the planning support needed to carry it out effectively. Key activities include collecting native plant propagules (such as seeds and cuttings) in accordance with park requirements, propagating native plants in nursery settings, installing/planting those natives back into restoration sites, and managing invasive plants that can outcompete native vegetation and undermine restoration results. The scope also includes intern support (helping build restoration capacity through training and field experience) along with project planning and management assistance, which typically covers coordination, scheduling, documentation, and aligning work with park restoration standards.
A major feature of this opportunity is that it is a notice of intent to award rather than an open call for applications. The announcement explicitly states it is not a request for proposals; instead, it serves as public notice that NPS will fund the project under an existing cooperative management relationship with the Golden Gate National Park Conservancy (GGNPC). The justification provided is that GGNPC is uniquely positioned to deliver this work because it has run the GGNRA native plant nursery program since 1997, has deep expertise in native plant propagation and seed collection requirements, and has extensive experience executing plantings and invasive species management in coordination with GGNRA policies and procedures. The Conservancy also brings added capacity through staff experienced in biological monitoring, integrated pest management (IPM) approaches, restoration plan development, post-restoration monitoring and reporting, community engagement, and presenting natural resource data for public education. In addition, GGNPC contributes established infrastructure through six native plant nurseries it manages, which supports efficient propagation and deployment of locally appropriate native plant materials.
The funding details indicate a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $336,111, with the award ceiling listed at the same amount and an award floor of $1. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The eligible applicant category is nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), although in practice the notice format signals that the intended partner is the Parks Conservancy under the existing agreement. The opportunity was posted and created on June 12, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 20, 2014, and an archive date of July 3, 2014. The CFDA program reference is 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, and the activity category is Natural Resources. For access issues or questions, the listed contact is Kristina Bliss, Contract Specialist, at 805-370-2321 or kristinabliss@nps.gov, and the general additional information link points to Grants.gov.
