Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Restore disturbed lands" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIORPI10616), is a National Park Service discretionary funding action to support natural resource restoration work at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. The project is structured as a cooperative agreement and is tied to an existing cooperative agreement already in place. The core purpose is to carry out restoration of disturbed lands associated with international border activities, with an emphasis on restoring damaged sites and improving the monument's capacity to support restoration work over time.
A key component of the effort is to restore and expand the park nursery, which typically means increasing the ability to propagate and grow native plants needed for rehabilitation of impacted areas. Alongside nursery improvements, the agreement supports hands-on restoration activities on the ground, which may include site stabilization, re-vegetation with native species, invasive plant management, and related field tasks that help return disturbed habitats to more natural conditions. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA program reference is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, signaling that the work aligns with conservation field projects often implemented with youth or service-based conservation crews.
The notice indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute part of the overall project value through cash, in-kind services, or other approved contributions. The estimated total funding amount listed is $26,848, with no stated award floor or ceiling (both shown as zero, which generally reflects that the specific award amount is handled through the associated agreement and task structure rather than a typical competitive range). The opportunity anticipated a single award.
Eligibility is not broadly open in practice because this posting is explicitly labeled "FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY" and is a Notice of Intent to award. The National Park Service states its intent to make the award to the Student Conservation Association through a task agreement under the existing cooperative agreement framework, rather than running an open competitive process for new applicants. The posting and closing dates reflect that intent and timing: posted July 19, 2011; closing July 20, 2011; archived July 21, 2011.
For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist, National Park Service, at 505-988-6042.
