Description

The services proposed under this Single Source Cooperative Agreement will be provided by Slide Ranch Inc, 2025 Shoreline Highway Muir Beach, CA 94965 who is a Park Partner with Golden Gate National Recreation Area, a unit of the U.S. Department of Interior National Park Service. Slide Ranch will provide opportunities for socioeconomically diverse populations to participate in hands-on activities at a teaching farm within Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) with the objectives of enhancing participants’ understanding of the natural, cultural, and recreational resources available to them through their National Parks and encouraging them to address environmental challenges in their daily lives and within their communities.
