Application In RTF

The National Park Service's Rivers, Trails & Conservation (RTCA) staff assistance includes help in building partnerships to achieve community-set goals, assessing resources, developing concept plans, engaging public participation, furthering local conservation initiatives, and identifying potential sources of funding. From urban promenades to trails along abandoned railroad rights-of-way to wildlife corridors, our assistance in greenway efforts is wide ranging. Similarly, our assistance in river conservation spans downtown riverfronts to regional water trails to stream restoration. Although RTCA does not provide financial assistance, we do offer technical assistance based on expertise and experience to community partners to help them achieve their goals. Project partners may be non-profit organizations, community groups, tribes or tribal governments, and local or state government agencies. Assistance is for one year and may be renewed for a second year if warranted.

We recommend that you contact Michael Linde, Program Leader, at 206-220-4113 or michael_linde@nps.gov, to discuss your interest and seek guidance before applying.

The deadline for project applications is August 1st, three months before the start of each fiscal year (October 1 to September 30).

Final project selection is generally completed in early November after passage of the federal budget. In the interim our staff will acknowledge receipt of your application. Based on the availability of staff and funding resources, we meet as many requests as possible.
