The Department of BLM in Oregon/Washington offers a grant through the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center to promote geoscience education and outreach. The grant aims to provide hands-on experience for geoscientists, college students, professionals, and retirees in resource management, geological hazards mitigation, and other geological work on public lands. By addressing the lack of geoscience expertise in education and management, this program supports the development of skills and abilities in geosciences to enhance overall land management decisions and public awareness of geoscience resources.

| Description: | The BLM has worked with the Geological Society of America GeoCorps America Program for over 15 years to provide geoscientists, college students, professionals, and retirees, hands on experience in overall land management. The need for geoscience expertise is great. In many cases, geoscience is not adequately addressed in education, resource management, geological hazards mitigation, and other geological work on public lands. The GeoCorps program, dating from 1997, strives to increase the number of geoscientists able to provide educational outreach to a multitude of diverse land managers in order to address a more global approach for overall land management decisions and to raise the public�s knowledge and awareness of the value of geoscience resources on public lands.
The objective of this program is to continue to provide geoscientists, college students, professionals, and retirees, hands on experience in resource management, geological hazards mitigation, and other geological work related to overall land management in order to develop skills and abilities in geosciences. |
