Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AC00698
The grant opportunity titled "Restore Landscape to 1st and 2nd Battles of Manassas Appearance" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AC00698) is a National Park Service project under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on cultural landscape restoration at Manassas National Battlefield Park. The underlying goal is to support the park's long-term interpretive direction laid out in the 2008 General Management Plan and further detailed in the cultural landscape documentation "Fence Lines, Fields, and Forest: Manassas Battlefield Cultural Landscape Report." Those planning documents emphasize that visitors should be able to understand the First and Second Battles of Manassas as distinct military events, and that a major part of that understanding depends on experiencing the battlefield in a way that reflects how it looked and functioned during the July 1861 and August 1862 campaigns.
The core problem the project addresses is that the modern landscape no longer fully matches the historically agrarian setting that shaped troop movement, visibility, and tactical decision-making during the battles. Over time, areas that were once open fields, pasture, or otherwise managed farmland have reverted to forest or dense vegetation. That natural regrowth can block historic sight lines, obscure key terrain features, and make it harder for visitors to visually connect the ground they are standing on with the actions that occurred there. This project is presented as one phase of an ongoing effort to reverse some of that vegetative change so that the landscape better conveys the battlefield's historic appearance and helps the public grasp how the environment influenced the events of both engagements.
Administratively, this announcement is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. It is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning the National Park Service is publicly documenting its plan to fund the work without competition. No applications are being accepted under this posting, and the opportunity is being carried out as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement with American Conservation Experience (referenced as P15AC00015). In other words, the recipient and mechanism are effectively predetermined, and the notice serves transparency and compliance purposes rather than inviting new proposals.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as coordinating work plans, providing technical direction, ensuring compliance with park resource requirements, and integrating the fieldwork with interpretation and resource management goals. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is listed under the activity category "Employment, Labor and Training," which aligns with the type of work often performed through conservation corps style partnerships that combine hands-on stewardship with workforce development.
Key funding details include an expected single award with an award ceiling of $63,040. The posting shows an original creation date of September 17, 2018, and an original closing date of September 27, 2018, though the closing date is not meaningful for applicants in this case because the announcement does not accept applications. The CFDA number provided is 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance listings.
Eligibility language in the listing references nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), but the practical effect is superseded by the non-competitive intent and the stated plan to execute the project through the existing agreement with American Conservation Experience. Taken together, the notice describes a relatively small, targeted investment intended to produce on-the-ground landscape changes that improve historical authenticity and visitor understanding by reopening or maintaining views and terrain characteristics that were present when the battles were fought.Apply for P18AC00698
