Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Redding Field Office Trinity River Watershed Healthy Lands Project (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00170) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant competition offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The opportunity focused on natural resources work in the Trinity River watershed and was framed around long-standing federal and state conservation priorities: the Redding Resource Management Plan (1993) for the Trinity Management Area and the California Wildlife Action Plan (2005) for the North Coast Klamath Region. At its core, the project was intended to support on-the-ground actions that protect and enhance anadromous fish populations in the Trinity River system while keeping riparian habitat in good or excellent condition, aligning implementation work with defined resource condition objectives and regional conservation actions.
Funding for the announcement was up to $250,000 total, with an award ceiling of $250,000 and a stated award floor of $500, and BLM anticipated making one award. The instrument type being a cooperative agreement signaled that BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, coordination on planning, technical direction, or joint implementation), rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The notice indicated no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier to participation for organizations that may not have non-federal funds available to meet match obligations.
Eligible applicants were limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and county governments. The opportunity was posted June 11, 2015, with an application closing date of August 11, 2015, and it was later archived on December 31, 2019. Applicants were directed to the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete project details, required application components, and evaluation criteria. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed point of contact was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, Bureau of Land Management, reachable at 530-252-5338 and lparker@blm.gov.
