Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00095
The grant opportunity titled "Rehabilitate and Preserve Humpback Rocks Farm" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00095) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement focused on restoring and preserving a historic farm complex at Humpback Rocks, located near milepost 6 along the Blue Ridge Parkway (often abbreviated as BLRI). The work centers on five historic structures within the farm complex and is aimed at completing major repairs that support long-term preservation. The project is framed as hands-on historic preservation work, combining practical rehabilitation needs with skill-building for participants working on culturally significant resources managed by the NPS.
The effort is designed to be carried out primarily by park historic preservation specialists, supported by local NPS staff. A major component of the labor plan includes a youth conservation crew from American Conservation Experience (ACE), consisting of one crew leader and four team members, expected to work for about eight weeks. The announcement also notes that volunteers may assist if they are available, indicating the project may blend professional oversight with conservation corps support and community involvement, depending on staffing and volunteer turnout.
Training is a core element of the project. During the first two weeks, the NPS Historic Preservation Training Center based in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia will provide initial instruction, combining classroom learning with hands-on demonstrations. This training is intended to teach proper historic preservation methods and repair techniques before the bulk of field work proceeds, helping ensure that repairs follow accepted preservation standards and are appropriate for historic structures rather than modern construction approaches.
Administratively, this opportunity is offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources (CFDA 15.931), which in NPS contexts often covers projects that protect and maintain park resources, including cultural and historic assets. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), as well as other eligible entities as referenced in the announcement's eligibility clarification. The award ceiling is $35,200. The opportunity was created on April 24, 2018, with an original closing date of May 3, 2018. The listing shows "Expected Awards: 0," which can reflect how the opportunity was posted or tracked in the system rather than a guarantee that no award would be made, but it does indicate that applicants would need to read the full notice carefully for how selections and awards were intended to be handled.
Overall, the grant supports a targeted preservation project with clearly defined on-the-ground outcomes (major repairs to five historic structures) and a structured workforce and training plan (NPS preservation staff leadership, an ACE youth crew for eight weeks, optional volunteers, and early-phase training by the Preservation Training Center). The emphasis is on doing the work correctly for historic resources, building capacity through training, and improving the condition and durability of an important historic farm site along the Blue Ridge Parkway.Apply for P18AS00095
