Attachment 2 - Annual Performance Progress Reports.docx

This is an Annual Performance Progress Report template issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District for use by cooperative agreement recipients under the Youth Conservation Services program (CFDA 12.010). The template is designed for recipients to document project accomplishments during specified reporting periods and consists of six primary reporting sections: cooperative agreement identification and performance period documentation, description of project accomplishments including any significant developments such as delays or favorable outcomes, comparison of accomplishments against original project objectives with space for explanation if discrepancies exist, project completion status with projected completion dates, and provisions for attaching supplemental documentation including photographs. Recipients must submit completed reports to their assigned agreements administrator.

The underlying federal grant opportunity targets the Eugene, Oregon area and supports natural resource management education and training through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District. The program funds eligible non-Federal public agencies, nonprofit entities, qualified youth service organizations, and conservation corps to provide land stewardship and restoration services on Corps land in the Willamette Valley, with specific focus on native prairie landscape and wildlife habitat restoration at Fern Ridge Lake while simultaneously providing educational and hands-on training opportunities to at-risk youth enrolled in Kalapuya High School. Projects emphasize land stewardship, prairie and habitat restoration, and nursery and greenhouse maintenance work, with cooperative agreement funding typically ranging from $30,000 to $400,000 for project durations of six to eighteen months.
