This program supports projects that further the mission of the national park service and efforts in natural and cultural resource conservation, protection, and environmental sustainability that are not covered under other specific financial assistance programs. Invasive annual grasses are spreading throughout the greater yellowstone ecosystem (GYE) at an alarming rate. Given the complex and cross boundary nature of this issue, land managers need assistance to develop a more informed, appropriately scaled, and prioritized process. Resource information is available but GYE managers continue to struggle to pull critical pieces of information together and be strategic. This project will fund a facilitator to perform several important tasks related to data gathering followed by several workshops and summaries of next steps.beneficiaries include profit organizations, public nonprofit institutions organizations, private nonprofit institutions organizations, non-federal government entities, industry and public decision makers, research scientists, engineers, and the general public.
