    Total Project Score/Ranking: N/A NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Planned Funding FY: 2021 $14,116,000 Project Data Sheet Funding Source: Legacy Restoration Fund Project Identification Project Title: Maintenance Action Team Project Number: DOI #N001 Unit/Facility Name: Multiple Region/Area/District: Multiple Congressional District: Multiple State: Multiple Project Justification DOI Asset Code FRPP Unique Id# API: FCI-Before: N/A N/A N/A N/A Project Description: Utilizing the Legacy Restoration Fund, the NPS's Historic Preservation Training Center (HPTC) and Historic Architecture, & Engineering Center (HACE) will stand up a pilot program during FY21 consisting of Preservation Maintenance Action Teams (MATs) to complete rehabilitation and preservation projects on historic assets. These assets make up 25 percent of the NPS facility portfolio. The MAT will perform the following types of projects: preservation and stabilization of fortification masonry scarp walls; rehabilitation of masonry comfort station exteriors; battlefield monument care and maintenance; specialized repair and painting of windows in several structures at various parks; replacing roofs in-kind (ranging from wood shingle to slate); and rehabilitating culverts, trails and trail bridges, cultural landscapes and their historic features. The maintenance work will improve the condition of the asset by extending the life of the critical systems which may include components of the exterior envelope, superstructure, or interior features— ultimately preserving the cultural resource and its contents. Staff training and hands-on education will provide NPS personnel with skillsets that will last decades. Training and capacity in the traditional trades, appropriate materials selection, and treatment approaches will help parks reduce life cycle costs—especially since many assets with deteriorated conditions are the result of prior use of incompatible materials, lack of trained staff, attrition of skilled craftspeople, budget shortfalls, or a failure to prioritize preservation of the resource.

By Trail Contributor: Zach Robbins Huckleberry Knob, at 5,580 feet, is the highest peak in the remote Unicoi Mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. The bald summit is reached by an easy hike from the Cherohala Skyway. Suitable for all levels of hiking experience, the grassy bald provides fantastic 360° views of the Unicoi, Great Smoky, Cheoah, Snowbird, Nantahala, Valley River, Tusquitee, and Cohutta Mountain ranges of southwestern North Carolina, northeastern Georgia, and southeastern Tennessee. This is one of the finest viewpoints in the region, only rivaled by Gregory Bald, Rocky Top, and lookout towers on Shuckstack and Wesser Bald. This is a wonderful spot for a picnic or lazy backcountry camping. While in the area, consider including other nearby trails along the Cherohala Skyway for a full day of short hikes. Mile 0.0 – There is space for only a few cars at the Huckleberry Knob Trailhead. If this lot is full, overflow parking is available on the grassy shoulder of the Cherohala Skyway west of the entrance. The Huckleberry Knob Trail [419] follows a forest road track through beech and maple forests. Mile 0.4 – Follow the shoulder of Oak Knob through wide open grassy fields.
