Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00125
The grant opportunity titled "Exotic Vegetation Contraol and Desert Springs Habitat Restoration, Death Valley NP" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00125) is a National Park Service project under the Department of the Interior focused on restoring sensitive desert spring and riparian habitats in Death Valley National Park by removing and controlling invasive, non-native plant species. The underlying idea is straightforward: desert springs are rare, highly visible, and ecologically critical in an arid landscape, and when exotic vegetation takes over, it can degrade native plant communities, reduce habitat quality for wildlife, and diminish the overall condition and enjoyment of these iconic areas. By targeting invasive vegetation at and near springs, the project aims to shift these sites back toward healthy native riparian systems that can persist for future generations.
The project goals emphasize ecological improvement and public value. Removing exotic vegetation is intended to improve the condition of riparian resources that visitors can readily see and that serve as important ecological hubs. The expected outcomes include better establishment and growth of native plants, strengthened wildlife habitat in spring-fed areas, and a more intact and resilient desert spring environment. In a place like Death Valley, where water-dependent habitats are naturally limited and concentrated, even small improvements at spring sites can have outsized benefits for biodiversity, ecosystem function, and the visitor experience.
The primary project objective is also strongly workforce- and education-oriented. The work is designed to be carried out with youth and young adult conservation corps crews, giving them hands-on opportunities to support Death Valley National Park Resources Management in practical restoration activities. Their core tasks are to assist in restoring riparian ecosystems by removing and controlling exotic and non-native vegetation occurring in and around spring habitats. In effect, the project combines on-the-ground habitat restoration with conservation workforce development, using supervised crews to complete labor-intensive vegetation control work while building conservation skills and experience for young people.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the natural resources activity category (CFDA 15.931), with an award ceiling of $151,000. Eligible applicants are specified as 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education. However, the notice makes clear that this posting is a "Notice of Intent to Award" and explicitly states it is not a request for applications. The National Park Service is using the announcement to provide public notice that it will fund the project under an existing cooperative agreement with ACE, rather than running an open competition. The posting date is June 21, 2018, with an original closing date of June 26, 2018, reflecting the short window typical of public notice postings rather than a standard open solicitation.
Overall, the opportunity supports a targeted restoration effort in Death Valley National Park that addresses invasive plant pressures at desert springs while simultaneously providing structured conservation work opportunities for youth and young adults through corps crews, funded through a cooperative agreement mechanism and issued as a non-competitive intent-to-award notice under an existing partnership.Apply for P18AS00125
