Description
The National Park Service intends to award a single-source justified cooperative agreement to Conservation Legacy for the repair, restoration, and maintenance of approximately six miles of backcountry hiking trails at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. The project aims to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for visitors and employees, while also offering educational and community service opportunities for youth.
