Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00124) was posted on April 22, 2016 by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). It supports a project in Rocky Mountain National Park that pairs a Larimer County Conservation Corps crew with a wilderness trail crew to carry out on-the-ground conservation and trail maintenance work while providing structured education and job experience for young people. The underlying goal is to help participants build practical skills and develop a stronger understanding of, and appreciation for, the park's natural and cultural resources through direct, supervised fieldwork.
The work scope centers on resource protection and trail sustainability in wilderness trail settings. Specific tasks include repairing or improving deteriorated log causeways (log-supported trail structures often used in wet or fragile areas), addressing trail drainage issues, implementing erosion control systems, and re-establishing the required trail corridor width to meet management standards. Collectively, these activities are intended to reduce environmental impacts from water flow and foot traffic, protect surrounding vegetation and soils, and maintain safe, durable access along established routes.
The opportunity is categorized under Education and Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 15.931. It is designed for eligible applicants identified as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education). The expected award profile is small and targeted: one anticipated award with an award ceiling of $29,616. The closing date is listed as "NOI" (typically indicating a Notice of Intent status rather than a standard application deadline posted at that time), reflecting that this is a specific task agreement arrangement rather than a broad, open competition in the usual sense.
