(SCA) received a $245,091.46 cooperative agreement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Region 6 under the Youth Engagement, Education, and Employment program (CFDA 15.676) to map and treat invasive plant species in high-quality and highly threatened prairies located in southwest Minnesota and northern Iowa. The award, dated June 30, 2025, extends through September 30, 2028, and will employ youth and young adults to conduct on-the-ground conservation work, combining hands-on training in natural resource management with practical invasive species control activities. This project aligns with the USFWS Youth Engagement, Education, and Employment program's core mission of engaging youth aged 16–30 (and veterans up to age 35) in meaningful conservation work that provides career training and educational experiences on federal and partner lands.
As the nation's largest provider of hands-on environmental conservation programs for youth and young adults, SCA will deliver this work through its established service-learning model, leveraging cooperative agreements to place program participants in invasive species management and habitat restoration activities. The project will generate conservation outcomes through systematic mapping and treatment efforts while simultaneously providing participants with valuable career development opportunities in natural resource management and ecological restoration.
