National Park Service: American Battlefield Protection ProgramDeadline: April 8, 2019
The American Battlefield Protection Program supports the identification, research, evaluation, interpretation, and protection of historic battlefields and associated sites on a national, state, and local level.
Projects must relate to planning, interpreting, and protecting sites where historic battles were fought on American soil during the armed conflicts that shaped the growth and development of the United States. Projects should enable present and future generations to learn and gain inspiration from the ground where Americans made their ultimate sacrifice.

- Foster relationships with conservation organizations advocating for balanced stewardship and use of public lands
- Expand the lines of communication with Governors, state natural resources offices, Fish and Wildlife offices, water authorities, county commissioners, Tribes, and local communities
