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. Central alaska network and university press of colorado (UPC) will collaboratively produce a book for public-wide distribution for education and outreach aimed to synthesize information of the natural resources for the parks in the area for the general public. UPC brings expertise to help make the information more accessible to the general public, in plain spoken and engaging language and visual aids.material contains practical application of decades of scientific information and research to contribute to public safety of the surrounding community adjacent and within the parks, including towns and villages within the park boundary inhabited by residents not employed by NPS. Copies will be provided to outreach partners (tribes, libraries, educational groups, alaska native student education program, and others). 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.
