This BLM grant is for a partner to promote conservation and environmental education by engaging young Americans in a comprehensive trail project within the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area and North McCullough Wilderness. The initiative focuses on trail creation, designation, and signage, alongside the restoration and rehabilitation of existing social trails. Participants will gain invaluable ‘on-the-ground’ experience in federal land resource management processes and policies related to recreation, conservation areas, and wilderness. The recipient will also explore public outreach and education opportunities, potentially coordinating with National Trails Volunteers, to foster youth involvement and understanding of implementing resource management objectives. This collaboration offers a unique opportunity for younger Americans to contribute directly to vital conservation efforts.
