The National Park Service, through the Youth and Veteran Organizations Conservation Activities program (CFDA 15.931), awarded a $109,700.87 Cooperative Agreement to The Great Basin Institute's Nevada Conservation Corps division to carry out natural and cultural resource conservation, education, and volunteer service projects at Zion National Park. The funding will support the following key activities:
-
Inventory all trails prioritized by the park's Facilities Division using high-efficiency trail assessment equipment. The data collected will be entered into the park's Facility Management Software System (FMSS) and other data systems to maintain these resources.
-
Collaborate with park maintenance staff and the Visual Information Specialist to provide up-to-date wayfinding information and enhance the park's interpretive media inventory, including trailhead waysides, accessibility publications, and digital resources.
-
Assist the Visual Information Specialist in developing a plan to leverage the collected data to improve the park's physical and digital interpretive media.
The project will provide youth participants with hands-on experience in natural and cultural resource management, while supporting the National Park Service's efforts to maintain visitor facilities and enhance interpretive media at Zion National Park. The award has a performance period from July 2024 to December 2025.
