OpportunityTitle: BLM-(WO), Hands on the Lands Outdoor Classroom Program
Description: BLM has an opportunity to work with a partner organization to assist BLM with partnership with local schools and communities bordering public lands, the BLM&#226;&#191;&#191;s 93 Hands on the Land sites offer the premier formal education programs within the agency, allowing nearly 100,000 students to access and experience BLM public lands in Fiscal Year 2017 alone. The BLM&#226;&#191;&#191;s Washington Office, Division of Education, Interpretation, and Partnerships has funding to collaborate with a partner to provide leadership and support to the BLM&#226;&#191;&#191;s 93 Hands on the Land (HOL) sites and connect them with the existing interagency HOL National Network of outdoor classrooms. Integrating the BLM&#226;&#191;&#191;s HOL sites into the interagency HOL National Network will provide agency sites with the multi-level support they need to foster and expand relationships with local communities and schools, improve coordination with other Federal agencies, expand access to public lands for students and their families, and introduce students and teachers to the concepts of multiple-use management and balanced conservation stewardship of public lands.
