Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00013
The Youth Conservation Activities grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00013) was offered by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service as a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resources work in Capitol Reef National Park. The project centers on supporting orchard and vegetation management in the Fruita Rural Historic District, a well-known historic orchard landscape within the park. The intent is to place GBI Horticulture Research Associates (interns/associates) into day-to-day field and resource management tasks that help maintain the health, productivity, and historical integrity of these orchards while providing hands-on conservation and horticulture experience.
Under the project, the horticulture research associate would work closely with the park's horticulturist and resource management staff, receiving daily oversight and guidance. Core duties emphasize practical orchard management: helping monitor insects and pests, assisting with integrated pest management (IPM) approaches, supporting cover crop management, and performing routine tree care. Tree care activities specifically include common orchard practices such as pruning and irrigation support, which are essential for long-term tree vigor and fruit production, especially in a managed historic setting where preservation goals and ecological stewardship need to be balanced.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was open to eligible nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The program listed an award ceiling of $83,595 and anticipated making one award. The opportunity was created on November 8, 2017, with an original closing date of November 17, 2017. The listed CFDA number was 15.931, aligning it with National Park Service assistance programs. Overall, this funding opportunity supported a targeted, supervised youth conservation-style placement aimed at sustaining a historic orchard resource through modern, science-informed horticultural management practices.Apply for P18AS00013
