Cooperative Agreement L24AC00516

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) awarded a $114,548.78 Cooperative Agreement under the Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands program (CFDA 15.243) to The Great Basin Institute, through its Nevada Conservation Corps division, to support native seed collection work in the assigned regions over a 3-year period from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028. The Institute, a non-profit organization specializing in natural and cultural resource management, will hire research associates annually to conduct this work in partnership with the BLM's Lakeview Field Office. This project aligns with the BLM's program objectives to engage youth in hands-on conservation activities that develop the next generation of public land managers.
