Objectives

BEGINNING 3/4/2025 DO NOT USE THIS ASSISTANCE LISTING - EFFORTS UNDERWAY TO ARCHIVE/RETIRE The National Park Centennial Initiative is an effort to prepare national parks for another century of conservation, preservation, and public enjoyment.

These projects reduce the maintenance backlog, improve visitor services, support outreach to new audiences, and strengthen partnerships to reinvigorate national parks and forge connections to new communities.
