Assistance from the Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance (RTCA) program will be provided during the 2018 federal fiscal year, which begins October 1, 2018, and ends September 30, I will consider our working relationship to be a partnership in which I work with you, not for you (as a consultant might). NPS technical assistance is represented by the time and resources that staff invests in each project. I encourage you and your partners to use the value of my technical assistance to leverage additional project resources and as a match for non-federal grants. Volunteers are needed!

Both focus on the community (citizens) input to develop plans based from your ideas about community design and enhancement Community Visioning needs volunteers to participate in 1 hour sessions on March 30th.
