15.944 natural resource stewardshipsam.GOV link: click here for the SAM.GOV assistance listingtemplate: the natural resource stewardship program is the principle means through which the national park service (NPS) evaluates and improves the health of watersheds, landscapes, and marine and coastal resources, sustains biological communities on the lands and waters in parks, and actively endeavors to improve the resiliency of these natural resources and adapt them to the effects of climate change. To carry out and further this stewardship responsibility, NPS implements programs that encompass a broad range of research, operational, and educational activities by utilizing park personnel and contractor support or cooperative agreements. This project will improve science communication and information transfer to managers of several national park units across the west with the focus on the rockies (e.g., grand teton, yellowstone, and bighorn canyon). Parks require detailed information about the condition of natural resources to make timely and informed decisions about management actions such as restoration and protection of species, prescribed fire, fuel reduction, and invasive species treatments. This work is being completed per the statutory requirements established in the national park service omnibus management act of 1998. Beneficiaries include the general public.
