Opportunity Summary:
This funding notice (NPS H9458090017) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement supported by American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds and focused on trail maintenance, repair, and limited new trail construction in Mount Rainier National Park. The main purpose is to preserve natural resources by improving key park trails, including work along the Wonderland Trail and other routes, with a specific emphasis on building about one mile of new trail on the Glacier Basin Trail. The project is designed to meet National Park Service trail construction and repair standards, meaning the work is intended to be professional-grade, durable, and consistent with NPS resource protection practices.
A central feature of the project is youth conservation workforce development. The work is to be carried out by one Northwest Youth Corps (NYC) crew made up of twelve members who will work alongside NPS trail maintenance crews. The arrangement is meant to provide NYC participants hands-on experience in environmental and conservation fieldwork while directly supporting priority maintenance needs inside the park. NYC is responsible for supporting the crew operationally by providing transportation, a stipend, camping gear, and personal gear such as backpacks, rain gear, boots, and personal protective equipment, as well as tools and other equipment needed to perform trail work safely and effectively.
