Resource Management Assistance, Alaska

archived

The principle purpose of the proposed project is to partner with an organization that can provide a workforce to assist BLM staff in resource and recreation management in Alaska and provide public outreach for visitor safety and benefit. Benefits to be achieved through collaboration are resource monitoring, inventory, protection and rehabilitation. Additional benefits for the partner organization are hands on field experience under the guidance of an experienced land manager, technical and safety training; expertise in conservation and natural resources, experience in developing public stewardship and satisfaction from accomplishing important work for the conservation of public land. This project will also provide training activities to improve the expertise of all partners. The BLM and the recipient will seek to work collaboratively to identify and implement projects which would appropriately serve the best interests of the people of the United States. The knowledge and experience received from this program will provide the volunteers with some insight in determining a career path as well as providing much needed experience for future positions
