Opportunity Summary:

The BLM CA Lacks Creek Management Area Native Plant Materials Development opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00014) was a discretionary Bureau of Land Management funding announcement focused on strengthening prairie restoration work in the Lacks Creek Management Area through the development of locally sourced native plant materials. The core project purpose was to collect local seed and then propagate native plant species, with an emphasis on native, perennial bunchgrasses and any other native species considered appropriate for restoring prairie habitat conditions. In practical terms, the grant was aimed at building an on-the-ground supply of genetically local, site-adapted native seeds and plants that could be used in restoration efforts, helping ensure that revegetation work relies on species and ecotypes suited to local soils, climate, and ecological conditions.

The award was offered as a Cooperative Agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, reflecting an expectation of substantial collaboration between the recipient and BLM rather than a hands-off pass-through of funds. The program anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $175,000 and an award ceiling of $175,000. The announcement listed an award floor of $500, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which meant applicants were not obligated to contribute a specific percentage of non-federal funds to qualify.

Eligibility was limited to two applicant groups: (1) nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and (2) federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, which signals that the project outcomes were expected to support conservation and resource management goals connected to fish, wildlife, and native plant communities.

Key dates show the lifecycle of the announcement. It was posted and created on January 19, 2011, and it closed on February 14, 2011, with the record later archived on March 31, 2011. Additional details and full application materials were hosted through Grants.gov, and applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically were directed to contact Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, at 530-252-5338 or via email at lparker@blm.gov.
