Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "BLM CA RFA 10 2007 King Range National Conservation Area Invasive Weed Erad" is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is designed to support on-the-ground natural resource work focused specifically on invasive and noxious plant management, with the central aim of controlling and eradicating invasive weeds in the King Range National Conservation Area (NCA) and nearby public lands that influence the Mattole River watershed. The project is framed as a partnership opportunity, meaning BLM is seeking to work collaboratively with a local organization rather than simply issuing funds for an independent effort. The emphasis on the Mattole River watershed signals that the work is expected to have broader ecological benefits beyond the immediate treatment sites, such as protecting habitat quality, reducing the spread of aggressive non-native species, and supporting watershed health.
This opportunity uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during project implementation. In practice, that typically means the selected partner would coordinate closely with BLM staff on planning, treatment priorities, field methods, data tracking, and other project decisions to ensure the work aligns with BLM land management objectives in the King Range NCA and surrounding affected lands. The announcement is structured for a single award, suggesting BLM intended to select one primary nonprofit partner to carry out the work at the stated scale and scope.
Funding for this announcement is set at an estimated total of $200,000, with an award ceiling of $200,000 and an award floor of $500. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds to be eligible. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with the opportunity is 15.230, labeled "Invasive and Noxious Plant Management," which places it within an established federal assistance program area focused on preventing, controlling, and reducing the impacts of invasive plant species on public lands and natural ecosystems.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with recognized 501(c)(3) status from the IRS, specifically excluding institutions of higher education. The description also highlights that BLM intended to provide an opportunity for a local, southern Humboldt County nonprofit, indicating that geographic connection and local presence or capacity in the region may have been an important consideration for competitiveness, particularly given the on-the-ground nature of invasive weed control and the need for local familiarity with terrain, access, and community coordination.
The opportunity was posted and created on February 11, 2010, with an original and current closing date of March 3, 2010, and an archive date of March 30, 2010, meaning it was a time-limited solicitation with a relatively short application window. The primary public listing and full announcement materials were available through Grants.gov, and the provided point of contact for assistance accessing the announcement was Leona B. Parker (lparker@blm.gov).
