Opportunity Summary:
The "Weed Mgt and Restoration" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P11AT80998) is a discretionary grant issued by the National Park Service under CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. It was posted and created on September 7, 2011, with an estimated total funding amount of $101,000 and an expectation of one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant. Although the listing appears in the format of an open funding opportunity, it was not actually open for competitive applications because the project was already being awarded at the time of posting.
The award was made to the Nevada Conservation Corps in partnership with the Great Basin Institute. The central purpose of the project is to carry out collaborative, on-the-ground conservation work focused on weed management and ecological restoration across multiple areas of concern within the park. Specifically, the work targets locations including Boulder Beach, the Gold Butte area, the River Mountains, the Black Mountains, Sandy Cove, and other sensitive or impacted areas identified by the park as priorities.
The scope of work is broad and combines invasive species control with restoration and visitor-use impact mitigation. Major activities include removing invasive exotic plants, particularly in rare plant habitats and in "vector" locations where weeds are likely to spread (such as corridors or disturbed sites). Alongside weed removal, the project supports restoration actions like native plant salvage, seed collection, and native plant outplanting to help re-establish desirable vegetation and improve ecosystem resilience after disturbance or treatment.
In addition to vegetation-focused work, the project includes substantial rehabilitation of human-caused impacts. This involves reconstruction of trails to direct foot traffic more sustainably, as well as the decommissioning and rehabilitation of abandoned roads and off-road vehicle (ORV) tracks. These tasks typically aim to reduce erosion, limit further habitat fragmentation, and discourage continued unauthorized vehicle access by reshaping disturbed areas, recontouring surfaces, and restoring native cover where feasible.
Another important component is infrastructure related to access control and wildlife management. The project calls for assessing, repairing, and constructing ORV barriers and ungulate management fences. ORV barriers are intended to prevent vehicles from entering closed or sensitive areas, while ungulate management fencing is used to protect restoration sites or rare plant areas from browsing and trampling by animals such as deer, bighorn sheep, or other large herbivores, depending on local conditions.
Administrative details indicate the opportunity was categorized under a broad funding activity category labeled "Other," with the explanation clarifying that the objective is participation in collaborative conservation activities focused on weed management and restoration. The announcement was archived the same day it was posted, reinforcing that it functioned primarily as a public record of an award rather than an active solicitation. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Barbara Eschels, Supervisory Contract Specialist, at 702-293-8909.
