Opportunity Summary:
The Alpine Loop Education and Enforcement in Hinsdale County, Colorado grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00103) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program focused on recreation resource management (CFDA 15.225). The core purpose of the award was to support on-the-ground education and enforcement aimed at visitors traveling the Alpine Loop in Hinsdale County. In practical terms, the project was intended to help manage recreation impacts and improve visitor behavior and compliance through direct outreach and enforcement presence in a high-use backcountry setting.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing a check, such as coordination on priorities, deliverables, or implementation details. The program anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The individual award size was relatively small by federal standards, with a stated award floor of $1,000 and a ceiling of $1,500, suggesting that funding may have been structured around specific tasks, limited-scope activities, or incremental agreements. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so eligible applicants would not have been required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of award.
Eligibility was limited to county governments, which aligns with the local nature of the work and the enforcement component, since counties often have the appropriate personnel, jurisdictional relationships, or operational capacity to support visitor management and compliance activities. The announcement was posted and created on May 17, 2012, and it originally closed on May 31, 2012 (with the same date listed as the current closing date). The opportunity was later archived on June 29, 2012, indicating it was no longer open for applications after that point.
For applicants needing the full instructions and application package, the announcement directed users to the application materials accessible through the posting (noted as the "Application" tab). The listed point of contact for access issues and questions was Ruth A. Raisanen at the BLM, reachable by phone at 303-239-3605 or by email at rraisane@blm.gov.
