The National Park Service (NPS) is offering this cooperative agreement grant to engage youth in critical vegetation management and restoration within Heartland Network National Parks. This grant aims to provide young adults (ages 18-26) with field experience, educate them on natural resource management, and introduce them to conservation careers. Recipients will deploy mobile teams trained in chemical and mechanical methods to control invasive plants and restore park ecosystems through prescribed fire, vegetation removal, and planting. The NPS will provide further training and coaching, fostering the next generation of environmental stewards and supporting healthy park landscapes.
