Opportunity Summary:
Recovery Act GLAC 154850 (Funding Opportunity Number J1437100019) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The opportunity is designed to support youth conservation work in Glacier National Park while also meeting ARRA transparency and accountability expectations. Because ARRA funds are involved, the recipient is required to comply with federal reporting rules referenced in contract clause 52.204-11, including registering in FederalReporting.gov and submitting quarterly reports within the first 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter.
The core purpose of the project is to partially sponsor two high school work crews to carry out trail rehabilitation and related resource management tasks during the summer season. The program is framed around two parallel goals: completing tangible on-the-ground conservation work in the park and providing an educational experience that builds understanding of natural resource protection. In practical terms, the project blends structured conservation labor with an environmental education component, giving participating youth both job-like field experience and guided learning in a national park setting.
Operationally, the project is split into two crews working in different areas of Glacier National Park. The East Side crew begins on July 7 and operates out of a base camp in the Belly River drainage. The West Side crew begins on July 13 and is based in the Kintla drainage. Each crew is made up of six youth participants and two adult leaders, and each team works for three weeks on trail and resource management projects. After the work period, each group completes a five-day environmental education hike, reinforcing the program emphasis on conservation learning. The East Side crew departs the park on August 5, and the West Side crew departs on August 11.
The trail work described is specific and hands-on, focused on restoring trail function and reducing resource damage from water and mud. Tasks include replacing broken puncheon bridges (boardwalk-style structures typically used over wet ground) on muddy sections by constructing raised gravel turnpikes, regrading trail tread, installing water bars and other drainage features to move water off the trail, and clearing small trees and brush from the trail corridor to maintain safe and sustainable access. The work is targeted to well-known backcountry routes, including the Boulder Pass, Belly River, Gable Pass, Stoney Indian Pass, and Ptarmigan Trails.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity anticipates a single award with total estimated funding of $24,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $24,000, indicating a fixed award amount. Cost sharing or matching is required. The assistance listing associated with the opportunity is CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The posting date and creation date were March 29, 2010, with an original and current closing date of March 30, 2010, and an archive date of April 29, 2010, suggesting a very short application window tied to a specific seasonal work plan.
