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. The goals of this project are to produce plant materials using seeds provided by joshua tree national park (jotr) and to ultimately grow 3,300 mojave desert container plants for use in post-fire rehabilitation. An additional goal of this project is for cross-pollination learning opportunities by jotr staff to assist at mdlt nursery facilities and incorporate new techniques into jotrs nursery operations. Beneficiaries include the general public.
