Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOIBRCA1800799
The grant opportunity titled "Protecting Park Resources through Boundary Corridor Tree Removal" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIBRCA1800799) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is categorized under Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.931. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in how the project is carried out, rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
This notice is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," and it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS was not soliciting proposals from the broader public or from eligible organizations in general. Instead, the agency was announcing its intent to make a single award through a task agreement to a specific organization: the American Conservation Experience (ACE). The task agreement would be issued under a cooperative agreement that had already been awarded previously (P15AC00015), indicating this action is essentially an extension or continuation of an existing partnership mechanism rather than an open competition.
The anticipated award amount is capped at $75,600 (the listed award ceiling), and the announcement indicates the agency expected to make one award total. Although the eligibility category listed includes 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education, the notice makes clear that the intended recipient for this particular action is ACE, so other nonprofits would not have had an opportunity to apply under this specific announcement.
The purpose described by the title and brief description centers on protecting park resources by removing trees along boundary corridors. While the posting does not provide detailed project methods or locations, "boundary corridor tree removal" generally refers to targeted vegetation management along park boundaries, rights-of-way, or corridor areas to reduce risks to infrastructure, maintain access, improve safety, limit resource damage, and support broader natural resource stewardship objectives. The notice was created on June 26, 2018, with an original closing date of July 6, 2018, which in the context of a notice of intent mainly functions as an administrative timeline for the public posting rather than a deadline for application submission.Apply for NPSNOIBRCA1800799
