About this opportunity

A. Project Goals ¿ 1. The goal of this Agreement is to enhance recreational fishing and other public uses of aquatic resources on public lands by hosting fishing clinics through the NPT Buddy Bison Program. 2. Increase access to fishing locations on public lands thereby reducing barriers to participation especially among low-income and disadvantaged youth. 3. Increase public awareness and understanding of sound fishing and conservation practices. 4. Facilitate the learning of fundamental fishing skills and outdoor ethics by hosting Fishing Clinics. 5. Connecting youth to the nature and the outdoors. 6. Introduce a new generation of youth and their families to the NPS Junior Ranger Program through the Junior Ranger: Let¿s Go Fishing Program. B. Project Objectives ¿ 1. To engage approximately 480 young anglers by hosting 4 clinics in/near national parks or other public lands before August 30, 2020. The events will be designed to create a ladder of engagement by providing pathways for deepening park community relationships ( service learning experiences, increased recreational opportunities beyond fishing, and potential work opportunities for young adults). 2. 4 possible locations under consideration: a. Channel Island National Park (Ventura, CA) b. Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail (Oakland, CA) c. Washington area national parks sites d. Mississippi National River and Recreation Area (St. Paul, MN) e. NPT may also involve Big Thicket National Park, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore or St. Croix National Scenic Riverway as backup sites. 3. Increase awareness of NPS aquatic resources. 4. Facilitate the learning of angling skills, outdoor ethics, and angling opportunities on public lands. 5. Ensure 100% of kids have fun fishing.
