This grant opportunity aims to develop climate change adaptation strategies for park natural resources using enduring features. Tasks include ecological integrity assessment, development of site-specific adaptation strategies for selected parks, and organizing workshops for strategy review and regional connectivity. The project also involves outreach, communication, and reporting activities, along with regular meetings and check-ins with NPS project contacts. The focus will be on specific NCR parks such as CATO, ANTI, HAFE, and CHOH. Applicants should be prepared for potential schedule adjustments and must provide annual reports with project activity photos by September 15.
