Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00182
The SUCR ACE PLC Fencing and Trails grant opportunity (PMIS# 196885A), issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement to support hands-on natural resources and visitor-use infrastructure work at Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument within the Flagstaff Area National Monuments. The core purpose of the project is to improve and maintain park boundary protection and trail conditions while providing structured job skills training and career exposure for a youth corps crew working directly with National Park Service staff.
On the fencing side, the project focuses on patrolling and repairing more than 10 miles of boundary fence. The work described includes brushing back overgrown vegetation along the fence line, documenting trespass sites or signs of unauthorized access, repairing damaged sections, removing downed trees that interfere with the fence, and rebuilding fence segments where needed. The intent is both practical and protective: restoring the fence as a functional barrier, improving visibility and access for patrols, and reducing resource damage and boundary issues associated with trespass or encroachment.
On the trails side, the project includes a broad set of trail construction and maintenance tasks designed to improve tread condition, durability, and drainage. Specific activities listed include smoothing and grading trail tread, brushing vegetation to clear corridors, stump removal, and more specialized construction such as stone masonry and stone step construction. The work also includes building or improving water diversion devices and completing other tasks commonly associated with sustainable trail construction, which helps limit erosion, protect surrounding vegetation, and improve safety and visitor experience.
A major component of the opportunity is workforce development through training and interdisciplinary education. The youth corps participants are trained throughout the project in the practical skills required for fencing and trail work, but the educational scope goes beyond the trades. The crew will spend time with the park natural resources program learning about invasive species, habitat connectivity, and the distinctive geology and ecology of the Sunset Crater area. Cultural resources staff will provide context on the prehistory and historic periods that influence how the site and surrounding landscapes are understood and managed today. In addition, law enforcement and interpretive rangers will meet with the crew to discuss their roles within the National Park Service and the day-to-day impact of their work, giving participants a realistic view of public lands careers.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00182 under CFDA 15.931, with an activity focus in Natural Resources. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The posted award ceiling is $32,800, with one expected award.
