Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Recovery Act Control Invasive species Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS ARRANOISLBE100001) was a discretionary grant announcement issued under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act framework to support natural resource stewardship work at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The project focus was invasive species management, specifically targeting baby's breath, an invasive plant that can spread aggressively in dune systems and displace native vegetation that helps stabilize dunes and support local wildlife habitat.
The proposed work was to be carried out by the Northwest Michigan Youth Conservation Corps (NWMYC) and involved treating approximately 150 acres of dune habitat within the Lakeshore. The control approach combined manual methods and chemical techniques, which typically means on-the-ground crews physically removing plants where feasible and using carefully applied herbicides where necessary to improve effectiveness and reduce regrowth. The intent of combining techniques is generally to increase control success across different site conditions while protecting sensitive dune environments and reducing long-term invasive pressure.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, indicating that the National Park Service expected to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordinating technical guidance, work planning, compliance considerations, or monitoring expectations. The activity category was Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing provided was 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," reflecting the youth conservation corps model that pairs conservation outcomes with youth employment, training, and hands-on public land stewardship experience.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $49,500. The notice indicated a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) toward the total project cost. No award ceiling or floor was specified in the listing. Key dates show it was posted and created on January 27, 2010, with an original and current closing date of February 10, 2010, and it was archived on March 12, 2010.
Eligibility was effectively limited because the posting served as a Notice of Intent to award to the Northwest Michigan Youth Conservation Corps. The text states the award was competed in accordance with internal NPS procedures, which generally suggests that while competition occurred, the public posting is documenting the agency's intent to make the award to a specific partner rather than inviting open applications at that stage. The agency contact listed for access issues was Theora McVay, Contract Specialist, at phone 402-661-1662, with an email address referenced but not fully provided in the source text.
