Opportunity Information: Apply for W9127N2020006
The Natural Resource Management (NRM) Education and Training Opportunities for Portland District Area grant is a US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Portland District (NWP) cooperative agreement designed to pair on-the-ground land stewardship work with structured education and workforce training for youth or conservation corps participants. The core idea is to support USACE in meeting its environmental stewardship obligations on federal lands while simultaneously creating paid, supervised, real-world conservation work experiences that build skills, ecological knowledge, and career pathways for people in nearby communities.
This opportunity is set up as a discretionary cooperative agreement (rather than a standard contract), meaning USACE expects to have an active partnership role as the selected organization carries out restoration and land management activities. The legal authority cited is 33 USC 2339(a), which allows the Corps to partner for conservation and recreation management. The program is intended to cover multiple USACE-managed locations across the Portland District footprint, specifically including the Bonneville Lock and Dam, The Dalles Lock and Dam, John Day Lock and Dam, Willamette Valley Projects, and the Rogue River Basin Project. In practice, that means the awardee may be asked to operate across a wide geographic area and adapt crews and project planning to different site conditions, visitation levels, and resource concerns.
The main deliverable is implementation of best natural resources management practices that improve ecological conditions while also supporting safe, functional public use areas and ongoing operations and maintenance needs. The scope is broad and can include a range of environmental and maintenance services. Examples explicitly listed include wildlife habitat and vegetation improvement (such as native prairie restoration and habitat enhancement), cultural resources management (supporting protection or management of culturally significant sites and resources), park and recreation site management (upkeep and stewardship in both high- and low-density recreation areas), development of visitor features that improve public education and interpretive services (such as interpretive elements or improvements that help visitors understand natural and cultural resources), and fisheries management (activities supporting aquatic resources and fish habitat consistent with USACE responsibilities).
Eligibility is targeted to a qualified youth service or conservation corps organization. A key requirement is demonstrated experience delivering land stewardship and restoration through interns and small work crews led by experienced supervisors. The supervision component matters because the program is not only about completing field tasks; it is also about ensuring ecological concepts, safety practices, and stewardship standards are taught accurately and consistently to participants. In other words, the recipient is expected to combine conservation project execution with training and mentorship so participants gain practical competencies and a clearer understanding of why the work is being done.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity number is W9127N2020006 under CFDA 12.010, offered by the Department of Defense through USACE Portland District. The listed award ceiling is $861,000, with USACE anticipating a single award. The posting was created January 23, 2020, with an original closing date of February 24, 2020. Overall, the grant supports a single partner organization to deliver multi-site restoration, stewardship, and related resource management services while providing hands-on education and training tied directly to USACE land management needs in the Portland District.Apply for W9127N2020006
