Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0084
The 2018 Preservation, Restoration, and Rehabilitation of Historic Landscape at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0084) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a single cooperative agreement task award, not an open call for applications. In other words, the announcement is primarily informational and serves as public notice that the funding action will be made under an existing, already-competed (or otherwise justified) master cooperative agreement rather than through a new competitive grant process.
The project will be carried out under Cooperative Agreement P18AC00751 between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) and Woodstock Foundation, Inc. The purpose of that broader agreement is to collaborate on efforts that preserve and manage historic, cultural, and natural resources while also supporting public education, research, and visitor enjoyment. This specific task focuses on the historic landscape resources at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, which are an essential component of the historic Billings estate and heavily tied to the park's interpretive programming and visitor experience.
The core work described centers on improving the stewardship of the park's historic gardens and grounds through a strengthened public-private partnership. The intent is to address both deferred maintenance (work that has been postponed over time and has accumulated) and cyclic maintenance (recurring, routine work needed to keep the landscape healthy and historically appropriate). The activities mentioned include maintenance of formal gardens, management of specimen trees, pruning, replacement of plants as needed, and general landscape care. Because the park landscape is used for numerous public programs and tours, the work is framed as directly supporting visitor services and the preservation of a key historic setting that benefits people visiting both the National Park and the adjacent Billings Farm and Museum, which is owned and managed by the Woodstock Foundation.
An additional deliverable included in the description is a summer horticultural internship for one youth. This internship component suggests an emphasis on workforce development and hands-on learning in historic landscape maintenance and horticulture, aligning with the cooperative agreement's broader goals of education and public benefit.
From the funding details provided, the instrument type is a cooperative agreement (indicating substantial involvement by NPS in the project compared with a typical grant). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, with an award ceiling of $45,000 and an expectation of one award. The CFDA number listed is 15.946, and the eligible applicant type noted is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The notice was created July 15, 2018, with an original closing date of July 24, 2018, which in this context functions more like a posting window for the public notice rather than a deadline for competitive submissions.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0084
