This is not a request for applications, this is just an announcement that this cooperator has entered into a cooperative agreement with the NPS for their work on the 2013 Strategic Planning for the Champlain Heritage Partnership. In addition, this cooperator will: 1. Maintain the existing ten (10) county-based network of regional stakeholder groups throughout the CVNHP to include representation of all counties within the national heritage area. 2. Develop CVNHP programs supporting each of the three approved interpretive themes for the CVNHP. The interpretive themes are: (1) Making of Nations – investigating the history of settlement and exploration in the Champlain Valley and the role of the region and its people in the various American wars that preceded the peace the region knows today, (2) Corridor of Commerce – exploring the historic and current role of Lake Champlain and its network of tributaries and canals in the regional economy, and (3) Conservation and Community – looking at the history of agricultural activity and related environmental change in the region and the current importance of locally grown food to the region’s economy and culture. New partnerships, programs, and projects that interpret, educate, and provide outreach will continue for the following programs: a. An ongoing commemorative program recognizing the importance of the War of 1812 and the 200 years of unbroken peace between the United States and Canada that ensued in support of the Making of Nations interpretive theme. b. An ongoing interpretive program featuring sustainable agriculture and the agricultural tourism economy in support of the Conservation and Community and Corridor of Commerce interpretive themes. 3. Implement tasks as outlined in Attachment A - FY 13 Work Plan and Budget: CVNHP Administration and Management Plan Implementation and Attachment B - Work Plan and Budget: Improving Access to Interpretation on the Lois McClure. 4.
