Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funded cooperative agreement focused on hands-on farmland preservation work at Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site (HUTR). The project centers on maintaining the site’s working agricultural landscape, specifically its hayfields and kitchen garden, using established, existing park protocols. The core field tasks described include plowing and planting, irrigating, routine weeding, and harvesting both hay and vegetables. In addition to crop and field maintenance, the scope of work includes daily care and support for the park’s agricultural animals, namely horses, sheep, and chickens, reflecting a practical, working-farm stewardship approach rather than a purely research or planning effort.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS ARRANOIHUTR100002 and categorized as “Other,” with the funding activity aligned to Agriculture. The intended mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically signals substantial federal involvement or collaboration during project delivery, rather than a more hands-off grant. The opportunity references CFDA 15.931, “Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations,” indicating that youth corps-style conservation and stewardship labor is a central programmatic fit. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind) in accordance with the agreement terms.
Funding details indicate an estimated total of $50,870, with one expected award. The listing shows no specific award ceiling or floor, which often appears on notices that are not open competitions in the traditional sense. Eligibility notes clarify that this announcement functions as a Notice of Intent to award to the Mountain Alliance Conservation Corps to carry out the farmland preservation project at Hubbell Trading Post NHS, and that the award was competed using internal NPS procedures. In practical terms, this means it was not broadly open for new applicants to compete at the time of posting, and it primarily served to document and publicize the agency’s intent consistent with grantmaking transparency norms.
Timing information shows the opportunity was posted and created on March 5, 2010, with an original and current closing date of March 15, 2010, and an archive date of April 14, 2010. Because the project is funded under ARRA, it is explicitly subject to ARRA reporting requirements, which generally involve heightened transparency and more frequent or detailed reporting on spending, progress, and outcomes compared with typical federal assistance awards.
