About this opportunity

This is a continuation of RFA L14AS00149 Project Background Information: The Gila District BLM has engaged young adults through Public Lands Corps programs for the past 5 years in order to stimulate youth development and career skills in Resources, and Environmental Sciences. Participants in the programs developed skills in watershed restoration; seed collection; plant community inventory and monitoring; wildlife habitat protection and improvement; water resources inventory and monitoring; outdoor recreation; and invasive species control and management. Participants also developed skills in project coordination (office and field based), crew supervision, database development/reporting, field logistics management, field project layout/design, application of land restoration/reclamation techniques, and volunteer management. Project Objective: The BLM seeks partners for collaboration whose interests are to provide internships and Public Land Corps opportunities for young adults to gain work experience in natural and recreation resources management throughout the Bureau of Land Management¿s Gila District, Arizona. The internships would have particular focus on 1) resource monitoring / data collection, 2) recreation and visitor services, 3) fish and wildlife habitat restoration and 4) border resources rehabilitation. This collaboration would provide an opportunity for young professionals to obtain training and ¿on the ground¿ experience in data collection, data analysis, site restoration and multiple resource monitoring throughout the Gila District. Project outcomes may include ArcGIS shapefiles. Multiple Resource Monitoring / Data Collection There are multiple active conservation efforts occurring within the Gila District Office (GDO) jurisdiction. These efforts involve multiple partners, state and federal agencies, private landowners, and non-profit organizations. Conservation efforts include riparian restoration, re-establishment of native species, and conservation of water resources. Resource Management Plans are being implemented for the Ironwood Forest National Monument and Las Cienegas National Conservation Area and a plan is under development for the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area within the Tucson Field Office. A Resource Management Plan (RMP) revision for the Safford Field Office (SFO) is scheduled in the upcoming years. All of the RMPs require either collection of baseline data or collection of monitoring data for multiple resource programs including hydrology, fish and recreation. Existing Biological Opinions require collection of monitoring data for federally listed and proposed plant species. Special Status Species management also requires collection of resource specific information on water, plant use, and various land uses. Recreation and Visitor Services There would be an emphasis in using this agreement to undertake recreation site not limited to: site maintenance, improvement of maintenance; campground maintenance; trash clean-up. For our dispersed recreation program, the recipient of the award would provide interns and/or youth crews to assist in creation and maintenance of collect data for improved mapping and documentation. Wilderness monitoring is another project the award recipient could assume with specific goals of streamlining data collection protocols, improving wilderness signs, and implementing projects that would alleviate unauthorized uses of these areas. Environmental education near our communities is an opportunity that would develop interpretation skills for the interns recruited by the recipient of the award.
