Promote and stimulate public purposes such as education, job training, development of responsible citizenship, productive community involvement, and further the understanding and appreciation of natural and cultural resources through the involvement of youth and young adults in care and enhancement of public resources.

The Ilse Royale National Park is seeking proposals to accomplish conservation work at Feldtmann Ridge trail and at the Feldtmann Lake Campground. Work will require hiking up to eight miles per day.
