About this opportunity

The Partnership for the National Trails System proposes to provide the services detailed below for the National Trails System community of Federal trail managers and nonprofit organization staff and volunteers during Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017. These services provide information exchange and training to better enable these public and private partners to carry out their conservation mission of sustaining the 30 National Scenic and Historic Trails authorized by Congress. Segments of these National Trails pass thru 70 National Wildlife Refuges allowing visitors to better experience and appreciate the conservation of plants and animals provided by these refuges. Funding from the Fish & Wildlife Service and other Federal agencies will enable the Partnership to provide these services. 1) "PATHWAYS Across America" - $10,000 for 2016; $10,000 for 2017 The Partnership⿿s Communications Coordinator will continue to produce 4 quarterly issues of PATHWAYS Across America that will be mailed to about 2400 Federal and State agency staff and nonprofit trail organization leaders involved in sustaining the 30 national scenic and historic trails. The Winter issue each year will be expanded to 20 pages to include a year-end report of accomplishments for each trail. The PATHWAYS issues will all be posted on the Partnership⿿s website The Partnership's Outreach and Youth Programs Coordinator will continue to upgrade our website and keep it fresh with current news and activities. She also will continue to prepare a monthly E-News to be distributed electronically to more than 600 National Trails System leaders and staff, and will continue to manage several social media programs focused on engaging younger people with the national scenic and historic trails. 2) NATIONAL SCENIC AND HISTORIC TRAILS WORKSHOPS - $10,000 for 2016 During 2016 Partnership staff will work with staff and volunteers from the Oregon - California Trails Association to provide a Training Workshop for National Historic Trail leaders and Federal trail managers and with staff from the Florida and Pacific Crest Trails Associations to provide a Training Workshop for National Scenic Trail leaders and Federal trail managers. As in our previous conferences and workshops from 2009 on we will bring young ⿿Trail Apprentices⿝ to participate in these workshops using funding provided by the Fish & Wildlife Service and other Federal agencies. The ⿿Trail Apprentices⿝ will be encouraged to give presentations about work they are doing to benefit trails. Workshop presentations will focus on ways to protect trail lands, to involve minority youth to increase the diversity of people using and helping to sustain the national trails, and programs to strengthen involvement of communities along the national trails; projects developing historic "retracement trails" in urban areas, and the latest developments in GIS technology for mapping trails and various other electronic means of interpreting trail resources and features. We will begin in Autumn of 2016 to plan for our 16th Conference on National Scenic and Historic Trails to be held in 2018 for trail organization leaders and Federal agency staff. The Fish & Wildlife Service will not be asked to sponsor this Conference but will be invited to participate in planning and attending it. 3) IMPLEMENT DECADE FOR NATIONAL TRAILS GOAL #1 -$2,500 for 2016; $6,700 for 2017; Partnership staff has begun preliminary planning with staff from The American Hiking Society, American Trails, the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy and Federal trail managers to prepare for the 50th Anniversary of the National Trails System in 2018. The planning will continue through 2016 and into 2017 with some programs beginning in 2017 and extending thru 2018. Much of the focus will be on increasing awareness and use of trails by all Americans with special emphasis on involving minority populations and community based activities.
