This grant is for the purpose of providing participants with essential life and job skills, valuable income-earning experiences, and pathways to further employment or higher education, fostering an awareness of public land stewardship. Additionally, it seeks to strengthen relationships between the BLM and local communities, expand the experienced entry-level workforce for local employers, and significantly enhance wildlife habitat, particularly for sage grouse and other special status species.
