Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00118) is a cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS), focused on supporting a Larimer County Conservation Corps (LCCC) crew working alongside the North District Trail Crew in Rocky Mountain National Park. The overall goal is to create paid, hands-on work and educational experiences for young people, helping them build practical skills while developing a deeper understanding of National Park Service natural and cultural resources and the day-to-day responsibilities involved in managing and protecting those resources.
The work supported through this agreement is centered on trail and resource protection needs tied to deferred maintenance. Specifically, the project targets common backcountry and frontcountry trail issues that can worsen over time if left unaddressed. The scope includes repairing or replacing deteriorated log causeways (structures often used to keep trails passable across wet areas and to protect fragile soils), improving trail drainage systems, and implementing erosion control measures that reduce trail damage and limit sediment movement into nearby habitats and waterways. Another important deliverable is re-establishing the required trail corridor width, which typically involves brushing, clearing encroaching vegetation, and restoring tread edges so trails remain safe for visitors and less damaging to surrounding resources.
A core feature of the opportunity is its structured educational component for LCCC participants. In addition to the fieldwork, corps members are expected to gain exposure to a broad range of park operations through interactions with park professionals. This includes learning from experts involved in resource preservation and stewardship, visitor management and protection, facility management, interpretation, and park administration. In practical terms, this component is meant to connect the physical work on trails to the larger mission of the National Park Service and to show participants how different divisions collaborate to maintain infrastructure, protect ecosystems and cultural sites, and support high-quality visitor experiences.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources (CFDA 15.931) and is intended for eligible applicants listed as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. The posting indicates an expected single award, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $60,636. The opportunity is listed as “Continuation” for both the original and current closing dates, suggesting it may be part of an ongoing or renewing project arrangement rather than a one-time open competition window. The opportunity was created and posted on April 20, 2016, and is framed as a task agreement designed to produce tangible trail maintenance outcomes while delivering workforce development and conservation education benefits to participating youth.
