Opportunity Summary:

The Youth Corp Trails Management Project is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on recreation resource management, specifically trail conservation and stewardship work on eligible Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands in Colorado. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would work in coordination with the agency rather than simply receiving funds to operate independently. The program is designed to deliver on-the-ground trail improvement and conservation outcomes in a cost-effective way, especially for projects that would not otherwise be completed by existing federal staff.

At its core, the project aims to use youth corps crews to enhance, improve, and protect the environment on designated BLM lands. The work emphasized includes appropriate trail conservation projects, along with support for research and public education activities tied to natural and cultural resources. In practice, this can include tasks such as trail maintenance and rehabilitation, erosion control, drainage improvements, signage or visitor-use enhancements, and other hands-on conservation actions that protect landscapes while improving recreational access. The public education component suggests an added focus on helping visitors understand and respect natural and cultural resources, which can reduce resource damage over time and strengthen community stewardship.

A major goal of the opportunity is youth development and public service exposure. The program is intended to introduce young men and women to public service while building their understanding and appreciation of the nation’s natural and cultural resources. It also seeks to expand educational and career pathways by rewarding national service participation in ways that can support higher education or job training. Another explicit objective is workforce development for conservation: by working alongside and learning from conservation professionals in land-management agencies, participating youth can gain practical skills and motivation to pursue conservation careers.

Funding for the opportunity was estimated at $100,000 in total, with the expectation of making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers the barrier to applying and may be especially helpful for nonprofits, local organizations, and youth corps networks that do not have significant unrestricted funds. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications in the full announcement, which was available through Grants.gov.

Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number BLM CO NOI 10 1809 and the CFDA number 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management). The opportunity was posted on February 3, 2010, and had an original and current closing date of February 12, 2010, with an archive date of April 1, 2010. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact was Ruth A. Raisanen at rraisane@blm.gov.
