Opportunity Summary:
This Recovery Act (ARRA) funding opportunity from the National Park Service focuses on invasive plant removal and habitat protection at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, specifically along and around the Ly co ki we Trail. The project is designed to preserve several high-value natural communities found in this area, including forest, savanna, prairie, and wetland habitats. The work area described covers roughly 20 acres surrounding about 1.7 miles of trail located between 200 E. and 275 E., with field work planned to begin in May.
The core purpose of the project is to locate, control, and reduce invasive shrubs and vines that threaten native plant communities and the ecological character of the trail corridor. The primary target species listed in the announcement include honeysuckle, multiflora rose, Japanese barberry, Oriental bittersweet, burning bush, and olive. The planned treatment approach combines mechanical and chemical control methods, including manual cutting followed by stump treatment with herbicide to prevent resprouting, as well as foliar herbicide application where appropriate. If the project schedule allows, crews would also treat additional acreage beyond the immediate trail corridor to create a buffer zone and reduce the likelihood of reinvasion into restored sections.
The opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, and it anticipates a single award. The estimated total funding amount is $23,094, with an award ceiling of $23,094 and no stated award floor. Cost sharing or matching is required. Although the listing appears in the general grants system, it is specifically described as a Notice of Intent to award to the Student Conservation Association (SCA), and the announcement notes that the agreement was competed according to internal NPS procedures. In practical terms, this indicates the NPS had identified SCA as the intended partner organization for providing the crews (two SCA participants) and carrying out the on-the-ground invasive species work.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted and created on February 4, 2010, with an original and current closing date of February 14, 2010, and an archive date of March 16, 2010. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally means NPS expected to remain substantially involved in project oversight, coordination, or technical guidance during implementation rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation.
