Description
The National Park Service intends to award a single source justified cooperative agreement to the Pinnacles National Park Foundation for the project "Collaborating with Community to Restore a Prairie at Pinnacles National Park." The project aims to enhance prairie habitat within Pinnacles National Park and surrounding areas for native forbs, pollinators, and wildlife species. The project will focus on a community engagement component, including coordinating public workshops and newsletters, producing interpretive materials, and supporting wildflower seed increase. The project will also leverage the expertise of the San Benito Working Landscapes Group to inform the restoration activities and serve as a demonstration project.
Key aspects of the project include:
• Coordinating outreach activities with the local community
• Collecting technical information to assist the grazing study
• Informing the ranching community and conservation partners about the project
• Coordinating site visits and meetings
• Producing interpretive materials about the project
• Supporting wildflower seed increase from seed collected by park volunteers
