Opportunity Summary:
The "Youth trails project at Point Reyes National Seashore" is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is a public notification that the agency plans to make a specific award and it is not an open call for applications. The NPS, under the U.S. Department of the Interior, is announcing its intent to provide funding through a cooperative agreement to Conservation Corp North Bay (CCNB) to support trail-related work at Point Reyes National Seashore. The central purpose is to continue a long-running partnership focused on hands-on stewardship of natural and cultural resources, along with related outreach and education activities that connect youth and the public to park resource management.
A key point in the announcement is that the NPS is planning to fund CCNB without full and open competition. The justification given is that CCNB is considered uniquely qualified based on several practical factors, especially its local presence in Marin County, its demonstrated technical expertise, and its established capacity to support and manage youth conservation crews. The notice also emphasizes that CCNB has already been a long-term, key partner for trail maintenance work involving local youth, which aligns closely with the intent of the funding source. In other words, the project is not only about maintaining trails; it is also about developing future resource management skills by engaging youth directly in conservation activities and exposing them to interagency and public cooperative management work.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, and it falls under the natural resources activity category. It is associated with CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals the programmatic emphasis on youth service and conservation outcomes. The expected number of awards is one, reflecting the intended sole recipient. The estimated total funding amount is $26,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. Eligibility is described generally as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but in practice the notice is specifically about NPS intent to award to CCNB rather than soliciting proposals from the broader eligible community.
The timeline reflects the nature of the announcement as a notice rather than a competition. It was posted and created on September 19, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 23, 2013, and an archive date of October 1, 2013. For questions or access issues related to the announcement, the listed NPS contact is Yvonne Morales at (415) 464-5221 or yvonnemorales@nps.gov.
