Opportunity Summary:
The Aspen Woodland Study is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming State Office grant opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement focused on natural resource inventory and applied management guidance for low-elevation aspen woodlands in Wyoming. The intent is to partner with the University of Wyoming, specifically the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, to document current on-the-ground conditions and compile practical ecological information that can be used in BLM resource management.
The project centers on gathering and synthesizing information about the status and distribution of vegetation types in these aspen systems, with special attention to rare plant occurrences and the presence of noxious weeds. In addition to field- or data-driven documentation of what is currently present, the work is expected to produce a usable summary of ecological data tied to management standards and to develop clear textual resource information that BLM staff can incorporate into planning, monitoring, and decision-making.
A key applied component of the study is to provide information on ways to manipulate or manage aspen stands to improve overall aspen health. This includes considering management actions that could enhance stand vigor and resilience while also acknowledging the potential for generating forest products from treatment activities, such as fence posts and fuelwood. In other words, the study is not only about describing the resource, but also about informing practical strategies that may align ecological improvement with limited, appropriate utilization.
The award is structured as a single expected cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The total funding amount is set at $12,000, with both the award floor and ceiling listed as $12,000, indicating a fixed-size award rather than a competitive range. Cost sharing or matching is required. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the stated intent to work with the University of Wyoming.
The anticipated project length is one year, and the total project period may not exceed twelve months. While the base period is one year, BLM notes that continued funding could be considered if progress is satisfactory and continuation is deemed in the government’s interest, or if additional funds are available, though the stated cap still limits the overall period to twelve months for this award as posted. The opportunity was posted on May 29, 2008, and closed on June 5, 2008, with an archive date of July 5, 2008. For administrative questions, the contact listed is Ilze Karklins Powers, Grants and Agreements Specialist and Grants Management Officer, at 307-775-6293.
