Description
The National Park Service intends to award a single source justified cooperative agreement to American Conservation Experience for a maintenance project at Parashant National Monument. The project will remove excess vegetation, repair fences, roads, and trails in and around cultural and natural sensitive areas. The project will focus on the Tassi Ranch cultural landscape, fence line, springs, and forage reserves. The crews will learn about techniques, tools, and their proper uses in the context of cultural and natural resource restoration and protection. Key aspects of the project include:
* Removing excess vegetation
* Repairing fences designed to prevent the entry of livestock and feral animals into sensitive areas
* Repairing unpaved roads/trails to provide a better visitor experience
* Focusing on the Tassi Ranch cultural landscape, fence line, springs, and forage reserves
* Teaching crews about techniques, tools, and their proper uses in the context of cultural and natural resource restoration and protection
* Providing valuable experience in resource management on publically managed lands
* Promoting leadership and team collaboration through work in remote settings.
