The U.S. Interior Department's National Park

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 -- The U.S. Interior Department's National Park Service has announced that it intends to award a non-competitive cooperative agreement opportunity to the North Coast Land Conservancy for land stewardship on the Clatsop Plains in Oregon. The estimated total program funding available was cited as $35,000, although no specific amount for this award was indicated by the agency. A funding opportunity notice from the U.S. Interior Department's National Park Service states: "The agreement covers stewardship of Lewis and Clark National Historical Park and partner lands on the Clatsop Plains. 16 U.S.C. 1j authorizes NPS to enter into cooperative agreements that benefit resources inside and outside units of the NPS. To provide benefits to both parties, a cooperative agreement executed under this authority should include cooperator lands adjacent or near to NPS lands. NCLC is the largest private conservation land owner on the Plains. Their lands are the closest private conservation lands to NPS lands. NCLC is also the only organization that provides a wide range of conservation services, including planning an habitat enhancement, to other public lands adjacent to NPS lands. These adjacent public lands include lands owned by Oregon State Parks and the Oregon Department of the Military. These state lands are directly adjacent to NPS units on the Clatsop Plains."
