The project focus is on natural resources and integrated resource management at Point Reyes National Seashore, using internships as the primary vehicle for accomplishing on-the-ground work and workforce development. While the notice does not list specific internship duties, "integrated resource management" in a park setting typically refers to coordinated activities that support stewardship of ecosystems and park resources, which can include resource monitoring, habitat management, invasive species work, data collection and analysis, assisting with restoration projects, and supporting long-term management priorities that cut across multiple disciplines. The intent is generally twofold: to advance the park's natural resource objectives while also providing structured training and professional experience for interns working in conservation and resource management.
Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $120,000 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.944, aligning it with National Park Service assistance for natural resource-related activities.
