Description
The National Park Service intends to award a task agreement under a previously competed or single source justified cooperative agreement to the Student Conservation Association for the project titled "Invasive Plant Control and Habitat Restoration at Redwood National Park." The project aims to provide training and educational opportunities to youth while working to control high-priority invasive plant species at Redwood National Park. The project will involve invasive species control, habitat restoration, and vegetation management. The SCA interns will assist with invasive species control and habitat restoration using different methods, including hand pulling, use of hand tools, and application of herbicide. The project will benefit the public by engaging youth in the management, protection, and restoration of park resources.
