AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Private nonprofit institutions and organizations, state and local government agencies and quasi-public nonprofit institutions and organizations that support youth career training and development in the areas of resource management, conservation and cultural resources.
Description: The principal purpose of this agreement is to support and stimulate work, education, and/or training opportunities for conservation minded interns. This project will provide an opportunity to participate in resource conservation by assisting with burned area restoration (BAR) and habitat restoration through the removal and control of exotic vegetation. Interns will participate in surveying, monitoring, removal, and control of exotics on a consistent basis within a burned area in order to help promote the reestablishment and growth of native vegetation, restore wildlife habitat(s), and restore the natural ecosystem of the burned area. The control of exotic and non-native weeds and restoration of native vegetation to the burned area will provide a revitalized wildlife habitat and enhance public enjoyment of the area.
