Opportunity Summary:
The San Mateo Natural Resource Stewardship opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00037) is a National Park Service (DOI-NPS) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement focused on hands-on natural resource protection and habitat restoration across Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) lands in San Mateo County, California. The work centers on practical stewardship: improving ecosystem conditions by restoring native plant communities, reducing invasive plant impacts, and strengthening the park's ability to track and protect sensitive species through mapping, monitoring, and biological inventories. A key driver behind the effort is the need to improve habitat for federally listed species present in the area, including Hickman's potentilla and the California red-legged frog, both of which depend on specific habitat conditions that can be degraded by invasive vegetation and loss of native plant diversity.
The project activities are described as a coordinated collaboration between personnel from GGNPC and the National Park Service. On-the-ground actions include collecting native plant propagules (such as seeds and cuttings), propagating those materials in a native plant nursery, and then installing nursery-grown native plants back into priority sites on park lands. In parallel, the project emphasizes invasive plant control, which typically involves targeted removal or treatment of non-native species that outcompete native vegetation and alter habitat structure. Beyond restoration itself, the effort includes monitoring and inventory work, meaning staff will document species presence and distribution, map sensitive resources, and track changes over time to evaluate restoration outcomes and inform future management.
Public outreach is also included as a formal part of the scope, indicating that the project is intended not only to improve habitat conditions but also to engage visitors and community members, likely through education, volunteer involvement, and communication about the value of restoration and protection of threatened species. Finally, the announcement notes broader "natural resources project support as needed," which suggests flexible capacity to assist with related stewardship priorities on GGNRA lands in San Mateo County when conditions, seasonal needs, or emerging issues require additional support.
Administratively, this posting functions as a notice of intent to award rather than a competitive solicitation. Both the original and current closing date fields state that it is not a request for applications; instead, it provides public notice that the National Park Service will fund the project under an existing cooperative agreement with GGNPC. The listed eligible applicant type is nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), consistent with the identified partner arrangement rather than an open competition. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $494,000. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.944. The announcement was created and posted on Jan 27, 2016.
