Minute Man National Historical Park (MIMA) needs an inventory of bats to determine presence in areas of proposed building demolition and hazard tree management along trail corridors. An understanding of bat occupancy in these areas will allow proactive planning and appropriate timing of management actions. 

The deadline for responding to this request for LOI is January 24, 2024. 

ERDC seeks applications for data services, research, evaluation, and author services describing the morphological evolution of a beach nourishment updrift of Burns Small Boat Harbor and the placement of dredged sediment from the harbor on a downdrift beach.

Request for letters of interest
The Natural Resource Condition Assessment for Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument will provide the National Park Service (NPS) with a Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) of Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument (KAWW). NRCAs rely on existing data and expertise from a variety of NPS and non-NPS sources to provide a snapshot-in-time evaluation of resource conditions for a subset of important park natural resources and indicators.

Request for LOI: The northeast region of the National Park Service (NPS) has proposed an ambitious effort to improve forest resilience and prepare for the effects of climate change by addressing forest regeneration debt (Miller et al. 2023) in 17 northeastern and mid-Atlantic parks. An important component of the effort will be evaluating current park-level efforts to estimate deer population size and developing a consistent regional approach for long-term deer monitoring. Funding has not yet been announced, but the regional office has been told to expect approximately half of the funding in FY 2024, which will be sufficient to support half of the parks in the proposal as well as the work described in this request for letters of research interest.
