Repair, Restore, and Maintain Trails at Guadalupe Mountains Nati

The National Park Service intends to award a single-source justified cooperative agreement to American YouthWorks for the repair, restoration, and maintenance of approximately 9 miles of backcountry hiking trails at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. The project aims to provide opportunities for youth to learn about the environment and contribute to the improvement of a cultural and natural resource area. The recipient will be responsible for carrying out the statement of work, recruiting youth workers, providing qualified leaders, and ensuring worker safety. The National Park Service will provide orientation, oversight, and necessary equipment for the project. Key aspects of the project include: • Repairing and restoring trail treads • Maintaining drainage and erosion control devices • Rehabilitating campsites • Providing education and training to youth workers • Promoting teamwork and self-confidence among youth participants • Fostering positive relationships between youth and the National Park Service
