This grant, offered by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, aims to fund the emergency stabilization of archeological sites located within the perimeters of the 2016 Chimney Tops Two and Cobbly Knob fires. This grant is for mitigating adverse effects and preventing the loss of valuable cultural information due to fire damage. The project will employ two youth with backgrounds in archeology to conduct initial site assessments and implement stabilization measures. These measures are anticipated to include the removal of fire-killed trees, seeding areas with park-approved mixes, and scattering woody debris or organic material, particularly on steep slopes. This initiative is crucial for preserving vital cultural resources.
