Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00504
The grant opportunity titled "NOTICE OF INTENT: Youth Experience in Management of Invasive Species and Hazardous Fuels" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00504) is a National Park Service program under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on hands-on natural resource work in southern Arizona. It is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would work closely with the federal agency during planning and implementation rather than simply receiving funds with minimal federal involvement. The overall theme is workforce development for young adults paired with on-the-ground conservation and wildfire risk reduction.
The project is designed around youth and young adult interns gaining practical, field-based experience in managing invasive or non-native plant species and addressing hazardous fuels (flammable vegetation that can increase wildfire intensity). The stated project goals emphasize real-world training in techniques such as invasive plant management, fuel load reduction, mitigation of wildfire damage, restoration of native plant species, and other related resource management practices. In practice, this kind of work often includes activities like removing invasive grasses or shrubs that carry fire, thinning dense vegetation, disposing of cut material in safe ways, conducting revegetation or reseeding with native species, and learning basic monitoring methods to track ecological recovery and treatment effectiveness.
The project objective is broader than job training alone. The task agreement aims to support and stimulate work, education, and training opportunities for young adults through collaborative participation in managing flammable vegetation, preventing or reducing wildfire damage, and protecting and restoring biological diversity in southern Arizona. The description highlights that these actions are meant to produce ecological benefits as well as practical risk reduction outcomes, tying local conservation needs to structured learning and workforce pathways. By integrating interns into these efforts, the program builds capacity for future land management professionals while also delivering immediate land stewardship results.
The opportunity also points to several secondary or ancillary benefits that matter to the National Park Service and surrounding communities. These include protecting fire-sensitive native vegetation that could be severely harmed by wildfire, improving public safety, and helping protect adjacent private property in the Wildland Urban Interface, the zone where developed areas meet or mix with wildland vegetation and where wildfire risk can be especially serious. Taken together, the project frames hazardous fuels work not only as an ecological management issue, but also as a community protection and risk mitigation effort.
Funding is relatively small and targeted: the award ceiling is $91,000, with one expected award. Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education).
