New Agreement Signed With EPA Continuing Groundwork USA

The National Park Service signed a new interagency agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency on July 10th to extend its partnership supporting Groundwork USA.

The latest agreement transfers $400,000 to help broaden the network to two more communities and continues to support the growing network of brownfield community-based conservation organizations.

Currently, there are 16 Groundwork organizations operating across the country. Groundwork USA also recently signed a new cooperative agreement with the NPS (see NPS WASO Youth Programs page) and is eligible to use its youth Green Teams to work on Economic Recovery Act Projects.
