Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM CA Vegetation Mapping for Wildlife Habitat" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00166) is a Bureau of Land Management cooperative agreement focused on improving conservation planning in Californias Central Coast Region and the adjacent San Joaquin Valley. The core purpose is to support completion of a detailed vegetation map for the Ciervo Panoche Natural Area (CPNA), a large landscape that includes the Panoche, Griswold, Tumey, and Ciervo Hills. This area is highlighted as a priority because it sits at the northern range limit for several notable native plant species, including Mormon tea (Ephedra californica), chaparral yucca (Hesperoyucca whipplei), and San Joaquin woolly threads (Monolopia congdonii). At the same time, it provides essential habitat for multiple federally listed and sensitive San Joaquin Valley animals, including endangered vertebrates such as the blunt-nosed leopard lizard (Gambelia sila) and the giant kangaroo rat (Dipodomys ingens).
The opportunity is tightly tied to established federal recovery and management priorities. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has designated the CPNA as a core recovery area for several imperiled species, including the blunt-nosed leopard lizard, giant kangaroo rat, San Joaquin woolly threads, and the endangered San Joaquin kit fox. This designation is grounded in the Recovery Plan for Upland Species of the San Joaquin Valley, and the BLM frames the vegetation mapping work as a practical tool needed to manage the CPNA in line with those conservation goals. In short, the project is about producing the kind of on-the-ground, spatially explicit habitat information that land managers and wildlife biologists rely on to target restoration, evaluate threats, and guide long-term stewardship across a complex mosaic of plant communities.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary natural resources funding opportunity issued by the Bureau of Land Management, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically implies substantive involvement by the agency during project execution (for example, coordination on methods, data standards, or review of deliverables). The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $125,000. The award ceiling was $125,000 and the award floor was $500. No cost sharing or matching funds were required.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number associated with the program is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The announcement was posted on June 23, 2014, with a closing date of July 23, 2014, and it was later archived on December 30, 2018. Additional details and the full announcement were available via Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 530-252-5338 or lparker@blm.gov.
