Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00249
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "NOTICE OF INTENT: Maintaining Access to Recreation Opportunities by Controlling Invasive Plants" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00249). The award is expected to be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service anticipates being actively involved in the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources activity category (CFDA 15.931) and, based on the listing, was structured as a small, targeted effort with an award ceiling of $54,000 and only one anticipated award. The notice was created on June 10, 2019, with an original closing date of June 20, 2019, indicating a short application window consistent with many time-sensitive or partner-driven task agreements.
At its core, the project is focused on maintaining access to recreation and improving landscape conditions by controlling invasive or non-native plants. The stated goal is strongly workforce-development oriented: interns are intended to gain hands-on, field-based experience in invasive plant management and related land stewardship work. The training and experience areas specifically include managing and removing non-native plant species, reducing hazardous fuel loads that can contribute to wildfire intensity, mitigating damage from wildfire, restoring native plant communities, and monitoring how well treatments are working over time. In other words, the project is not limited to removal alone; it also emphasizes follow-up monitoring and ecological recovery, which are essential for preventing reinfestation and ensuring long-term outcomes.
The objectives emphasize education, training, and employment pathways for young adults through collaborative participation in several natural resource tasks. These include mapping infestations and treatment areas, physically removing non-native vegetation, carrying out natural resource monitoring, managing and restoring native vegetation, improving wildlife habitat, and enhancing visitor viewscapes. The viewscape component reflects a visitor experience angle, suggesting that invasive plant control is being used not only for ecological reasons but also to improve the visual quality of park or recreation landscapes, such as keeping scenic corridors, trails, and key viewpoints from being overtaken by invasive growth.
The opportunity also highlights several broader public benefits that come with invasive plant management in fire-prone areas. By reducing invasive fuels and supporting restoration of native species that may be sensitive to fire, the project is intended to help protect native vegetation from wildfire impacts. It also aims to protect public safety and nearby private property in the wildland-urban interface, where natural areas and developed neighborhoods meet and where wildfire risk can have direct consequences for communities. Overall, the notice describes a compact, single-award project that pairs on-the-ground invasive plant control and habitat restoration with structured intern training, while also contributing to wildfire risk reduction and improved recreational and scenic conditions.Apply for P19AS00249
