The US Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, (USACE) intends to enter into a cooperative agreement with an eligible entity for the management and enhancement of natural resources and assistance in the water safety program at the Raystown Lake Project (RLP). Eligible Entities include non-Federal public and nonprofit entities. The USACE anticipates an opportunity for seven (7) Conservation Interns, 2-Natural Resource Management and 5-Water Safety/Interpretation. Activities include (1) wildlife management, threatened and endangered species monitoring, fisheries management, wildlife habitat enhancement, forest management, and boundary inspection/maintenance; and (2) activities in water safety promotion, updating bulletin boards; maintaining life jacket loaner stations; organizing special events; conducting interpretive programs and roving interpretation; writing news releases; possibly conducting media interviews (radio); promoting USACE safety campaigns; developing public service announcements and interacting with park visitors. This agreement is an opportunity to provide training and education opportunities for conservation interns (two-2) with fish and wildlife, forestry, or education studies backgrounds.
