Opportunity Information: Apply for NOIP16AC00209 001
The ISRO Conservation Corps of MN & IA opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior cooperative agreement tied to an existing master partnership with the Conservation Corps of Minnesota and Iowa (CCMNIA). The overall purpose of the partnership is to provide structured, meaningful conservation work for young people while supporting NPS priorities like natural resource management, energy conservation, disaster response support, and volunteer leadership. In addition to getting real field experience, participating youth receive training in resource management practices, safety, job readiness, and technical skills, with an emphasis on building responsibility, work ethic, and environmental stewardship.
This specific action is connected to Master Cooperative Agreement P15AC00009 and references Task Agreement P16AC00209, which originally provided $27,594. The announcement explains that a modification adding $28,137 in additional funding is needed to fully support the current project activities. The work described is focused on the 2017 summer season and centers on rehabilitation of the Greenstone Ridge Trail at Isle Royale National Park. The project scope is hands-on trail work: brushing and clearing vegetation to establish a consistent trail corridor (about 6 feet wide by 8 feet high), implementing erosion control and maintaining existing erosion-control devices, rerouting portions of trail where needed, removing rocks and roots, straightening and grading tread, and constructing boardwalk segments. Cut vegetation is to be hauled out of sight and stomped down to speed decomposition, and all tasks are to be completed with minimal resource damage.
A key feature of the project is that youth corps members work side-by-side with NPS trails staff and receive practical instruction, particularly on boardwalk construction techniques. The work is physically demanding and occurs in a remote park setting: crew members are expected to hike roughly 4 to 16 miles per day on uneven ground while working in varied weather conditions, including rain, cool/cold days, and hot, humid conditions, using appropriate personal protective equipment. The schedule mirrors NPS trails operations with a rotation of 10 workdays followed by 4 rest days. The announcement also highlights typical field hazards such as heavy insect exposure (mosquitoes, black flies, no-see-ums, deer and horse flies, and stinging insects) and notes that participants should bring their own insect protection and any necessary medications for allergies or bite reactions because certain supplies are not available on the island.
Roles and responsibilities are clearly divided under the cooperative approach. CCMNIA agrees to provide youth leaders and crews who will complete the project work alongside NPS staff; NPS identifies and directs what needs to be accomplished to CCMNIA leaders, and those leaders then supervise and direct the youth crew day to day. In turn, NPS agrees to support implementation by collaborating on the work and providing transportation to and from Isle Royale National Park aboard the 165-foot Motor Vessel Ranger III.
