Opportunity Summary:
The Slide Ranch grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DOI-NPS-NOI-E8142120522) is a discretionary National Park Service cooperative agreement focused on delivering hands-on, place-based environmental and agricultural education at a teaching farm located within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA). The work is designed to connect people directly to their National Parks through practical experiences that highlight the area s natural, cultural, and recreational resources, while also encouraging participants to take everyday action on environmental challenges in their homes and communities.
Under this single source cooperative agreement, the National Park Service planned to partner specifically with Slide Ranch Inc., located at 2025 Shoreline Highway, Muir Beach, California 94965. Slide Ranch is described as an established Park Partner of GGNRA, and the proposal centers on using the ranch s setting and operations as a living classroom. Core activities include managing organic gardens, caring for animals, and stewarding the surrounding lands, then using those real working systems to teach how food production, ecosystems, and community well-being are connected. A key emphasis is on helping participants understand their relationship to the earth, the ecosystems that sustain them, and the people and practices involved in farming and land stewardship.
Programming was intended to serve socioeconomically diverse populations, with participant experiences structured around the historic coastal dairy context and the broader resources of GGNRA. The announcement highlights several program formats, including outdoor education, service learning day trips, and educational hiking trips. In practical terms, this suggests a mix of experiential farm tasks, conservation and stewardship learning, and guided exploration of park landscapes, with the aim of building environmental literacy and a sense of belonging and access to public lands.
Administrative details show the opportunity was posted in mid-December 2011 and closed on December 31, 2011, with an archive date of January 31, 2012. It falls under the Agriculture activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship.
