Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00043
The Cooperative Training Workshop for Landscape and Exterior Maintenance of Pratt Cabin is a National Park Service funding opportunity focused on preserving a historic property inside Guadalupe Mountains National Park. The project centers on Pratt Cabin, a structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is designed as a cooperative effort to keep both the cabin's surrounding historic landscape and the building exterior in good condition. Rather than being a standard maintenance contract, the emphasis is on training and practical preservation experience, with the park providing direction and oversight to ensure the work meets federal preservation expectations.
The core of the project is two on-site, one-week workshops held at Pratt Cabin in 2018. The proposed dates are April 21 to April 28, 2018 for the first session and October 20 to October 27, 2018 for the second session. During each workshop, interns are trained in preservation techniques through structured, hands-on fieldwork. The tasks are expected to include vegetation management and landscape maintenance around the cabin, along with exterior maintenance or minor repair work on the building itself, depending on site needs and park direction at the time.
A key requirement is that all work must follow the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Historic Preservation, along with any site-specific guidance issued by Guadalupe Mountains National Park. That means the activities are not simply about making the site look tidy, but about using methods that respect the historic character of the cabin and its setting, avoid inappropriate alterations, and prioritize preservation-minded approaches consistent with nationally recognized standards.
The training model described is small and highly supervised. Two teams of two people (four trainees total) will carry out the learning exercises under the supervision of a Preservation Specialist and a Project Manager. The teams rotate tasks partway through so each intern gets exposure to multiple techniques and work types, helping ensure the experience is educational rather than repetitive. This structure is intended to balance real maintenance outcomes for the park with meaningful skill-building for the participants.
From a funding and eligibility standpoint, this opportunity is issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the natural resources activity category (CFDA 15.945). It is targeted to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity number is P18AS00043, it was created on December 15, 2017, and the original application closing date was December 24, 2017. The award ceiling is $29,296, with one award expected, indicating the park anticipated selecting a single nonprofit partner to coordinate and carry out the workshops in close collaboration with NPS staff.
Overall, the public value of the project is twofold: it supports the ongoing preservation of a nationally recognized historic resource in the national park system, and it provides interns with real-world experience in historic preservation work, including the practical decision-making and techniques involved in maintaining historic landscapes and building exteriors according to federal standards.Apply for P18AS00043
