Opportunity Summary:
The Barred Owl Lethal Control Case Study grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RBESP 02) was a discretionary U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) award administered through the Red Bluff Fish and Wildlife Office under its Endangered Species Program. It offered a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $55,000 (also the award ceiling). The grant did not require cost sharing or matching funds, and eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of applicant types could apply unless further limited by details in the full announcement.
The purpose of the funding was to support work needed to evaluate the environmental effects of a proposal to carry out one or more experimental case studies involving lethal removal of barred owls in California. The focus was on areas where barred owls have expanded into habitats used by northern spotted owls and California spotted owls. A key requirement embedded in the project description is that removal would occur in study areas with adequate baseline information already available, so that researchers can credibly measure and interpret how spotted owls respond when barred owl pressure is reduced.
A central element of the project is long-term monitoring. In areas where barred owls are removed, monitoring was expected to continue for at least five years to track changes in spotted owl site occupancy (whether spotted owls continue to use and hold territories) and reproduction (breeding success and related metrics). The overall goal is to produce defensible, field-based evidence about the competitive relationship between the two owl species, especially how barred owl presence affects spotted owl persistence and productivity. The results were intended to strengthen the scientific knowledge base on barred owl and spotted owl interactions and to inform practical management recommendations designed to reduce negative impacts on spotted owls. Ultimately, the work was framed as contributing both to recovery of the northern spotted owl across its range and to conservation of the California spotted owl.
The opportunity was posted on July 31, 2008, with an application deadline of August 11, 2008, and it was later archived on September 10, 2008. The activity category was Natural Resources, and the funding instrument type was a grant. For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Keith Paul, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, reachable by phone at 530-527-3043.
