| Description: | The BLM seeks partners for collaboration whose interests are to promote environmental research, education, and conservation throughout the west with particular focus on 1) resource monitoring / data collection, 2) recreation and visitor services, and 3) wildlife habitat restoration. This collaboration would provide an outlet for young professionals to obtain training and ¿on the ground¿ experience in data collection, data analysis, site restoration and multiple resource monitoring throughout the Carson City District. Specific deliverables may include inventories, reports, completed databases, maps, and ArcGIS shapefiles. Resource Monitoring / Data Collection There are active conservation efforts occurring for the Bi-State and greater sage-grouse within the Carson City District Office (CCDO) jurisdiction. These efforts involve multiple partners, state and federal agencies, private landowners, and non-profit organizations. Conservation efforts include pinyon / juniper removal and wet meadow restoration. A Resource Management Plan (RMP) revision for the CCDO is scheduled to start this year and will require data collection for multiple resource programs. Sage-grouse issues and the revision of our Resource Management Plan require rapid collection of resource specific information on wildlife, range, wild horses, forestry, visitor use, and various land uses. Recreation and Visitor Services There would be an emphasis in using this agreement to undertake recreation site challenges, including, but not limited to: site maintenance, enforcement, improvement of facilities, interpretation, and visitor satisfaction with services rendered. For our dispersed recreation program, the recipient of the award would assist in creation of trails, trailheads, interpretive signs, brochures, and collect data for improved mapping and documentation. The award recipient would have an opportunity to get involved in our special recreation permit administration program by assisting with OHV races, organized group events, vendors, etc. Wilderness Study Area (WSA) monitoring is another project the award recipient could assume with specific goals of streamlining data collection protocols, improving WSA signs, and implementing projects that would alleviate unauthorized uses of these areas. Environmental education near our communities is an opportunity that would develop interpretation skills for the recipient of the award. Wildlife Habitat Restoration The projects will differ throughout the district and may include: restoration activities; trail construction and maintenance; campground maintenance; trash clean-up; wildlife and fisheries habitat restoration; fuels reduction; seed collection; sediment and erosion control; user education and outreach; construction or maintenance of water developments; fence and barrier installations; removal of range fence; route signing; route closure and restoration; invasive weed removal; inventory of plants and wildlife; cultural site recordation, and stabilization and rehabilitation of areas damaged by wildland fires.** The purpose of this amendment is to notify this announcement is unrestricted. |
