Opportunity Summary:
The McArthur Creek Trail Restoration at Redwood National State Parks grant notice (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00170) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding through a cooperative agreement, rather than an open, competitive grant solicitation. In other words, it is not asking the public to apply. The purpose of the posting is strictly to provide public notice that the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition, using an existing partnership mechanism.
The planned award is structured as Task Agreement P15AC01010 issued under a broader master Cooperative Agreement (P13AC00165) with the California Conservation Corps. The activity focus is trail restoration work at Redwood National State Parks, specifically tied to the McArthur Creek Trail. While the brief notice does not list detailed work elements, the title and program context indicate on-the-ground conservation and restoration activities typically associated with repairing, stabilizing, or improving trail conditions and related natural resource protections in a park setting.
From a program classification standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding using a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, and it falls under the "Education" and "Natural Resources" activity categories. The associated CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 15.931, labeled "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with the California Conservation Corps model of engaging youth and corpsmembers in conservation projects that also have workforce development and educational components.
The notice anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $38,238. It also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) toward the overall project, consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement. No formal award ceiling or floor is stated (both shown as 0), which is common in notices that function as administrative public postings rather than competitive announcements with variable award ranges.
Eligibility is listed as "State governments," which fits the California Conservation Corps as the intended partner under the existing agreement. Key dates show the notice was posted and created on June 19, 2015, and archived on June 30, 2015. The closing date fields explicitly repeat that this is not a request for applications, reinforcing that there is no application window because the NPS is proceeding via a non-competitive task agreement under an established cooperative framework.
For anyone needing more information or encountering access issues with the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Yvonne Morales, Awarding Officer, reachable at 415-464-5221 or yvonnemorales@nps.gov.
