Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00524
The Leader Trail Crew opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00524) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement intended to support a nine-week trail maintenance and rehabilitation crew at Catoctin Mountain Park. The project is scheduled to run from about September 1, 2019 through about November 2, 2019, with a standard 40-hour work week. The crew is structured as one crew leader plus four crew members, working out of the park's Resource Management Division and coordinating directly with park staff on day-to-day priorities.
The main purpose of the project is hands-on improvement of the park's trail system, with a strong emphasis on erosion control, drainage function, and restoring degraded trail features. The work scope described includes rehabilitating pedestrian footbridges, installing water bars and check dams to slow runoff and reduce erosion, and replacing numerous stone culverts that are no longer effectively directing spring runoff away from the trail corridor. Additional tasks include installing new signage, repairing or refreshing older signage, reestablishing trail tread where it has broken down over time, brushing back vegetation along trails, and rehabilitating turnpikes that have eroded. The park also has an existing trail blazing system that needs to be reapplied across the trail network, indicating that route marking and visibility for visitors is another important deliverable.
Leadership, documentation, and coordination responsibilities are a central part of the crew leader role. The crew leader is expected to supervise and lead field projects, work with park staff on logistics and scheduling, and produce written reports that summarize and document completed work, including photo documentation. The crew leader also coordinates with the park's Volunteer Coordinator to bring in additional personnel when projects are large enough to require extra hands, which suggests the work may periodically scale up beyond the five-person crew.
Training and data collection are built into the crew experience as well. Crew members will be taught to use Trimble or Garmin GPS units if they do not already have GPS skills, with the practical goal of documenting the locations of completed work. This implies the project is not only about completing physical improvements, but also about creating usable records for the park to support future maintenance planning and resource tracking.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument under the Department of the Interior, National Park Service. The listed eligible applicants are 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (excluding institutions of higher education).
