21st Century Stewardship: Promoting resource protection and outdoor recreation opportunities in an urban National Park

The National Park Service intends to award a task agreement under a previously competed or single source justified cooperative agreement to the Cabrillo National Monument Foundation. The project aims to promote resource protection and outdoor recreation opportunities in an urban National Park. The tasks include developing a series of "How to Enjoy your Natural Park" videos and handouts, providing natural resource-based internships, and supporting the enhancement of existing education programs. The project will benefit the public by providing opportunities for community volunteers, students, and interns to engage in park-based stewardship activities. The key aspects of the project include: * Developing a series of videos and handouts to educate visitors on how to balance recreational activities with resource protection * Providing natural resource-based internships to facilitate resource stewardship * Supporting the enhancement of existing education programs to increase delivery of interpretive and educational programs * Collaborating with the Cabrillo National Monument Foundation to develop novel approaches to outreach in the digital age * Engaging youth of all ages in stewardship activities, educational programming, and communication of resource protection to broader audiences using multiple communication platforms.
