Opportunity Summary:
The BLM California Public Service Youth Conservation Teams grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00130) is a Bureau of Land Management cooperative agreement focused on fish, wildlife, and plant conservation resource management under CFDA 15.231. The program is designed to support youth corps teams doing hands-on conservation and recreation stewardship projects on BLM-managed public lands across California, with an emphasis on improving and repairing landscapes and facilities that receive heavy public use or have been impacted by past disturbance.
The core purpose of the work is practical restoration and protection of sensitive environments, especially arid lands and other ecosystems that have been damaged by off-highway vehicle use, general recreation impacts, mining operations, and other surface disturbances. Youth teams are expected to help reclaim and restore these areas through on-the-ground rehabilitation activities and by working alongside BLM staff to implement land-use decisions already laid out in BLM planning documents. A major example of this is route work: assisting with closing and restoring routes that are officially designated as closed in resource management plans, travel management plans, or similar guidance, which helps reduce ongoing damage and brings disturbed areas back toward natural conditions.
Projects supported under this opportunity can take place in a wide range of BLM recreation and conservation designations, including off-highway vehicle recreation areas, Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC), habitat management areas, desert wildlife management areas, special or extensive recreation management areas, and developed recreation sites. In addition to ecological restoration, the program includes substantial recreation-site improvement and maintenance work. Youth teams may construct, repair, or maintain facilities and visitor infrastructure such as campgrounds, picnic areas, visitor centers, waysides, kiosks, and trailheads, helping keep public lands safe, functional, and welcoming while also guiding visitors toward responsible use.
The scope also includes interpretive and compliance-related field tasks that support resource protection and visitor management. This can involve installing route markers, directional signs, and interpretive signage that clarifies where travel is allowed, improves navigation, and communicates resource values. The opportunity further notes cultural resource work, such as cultural site recordation, stabilization, and related protection activities, as well as rehabilitation of areas burned by wildland fires, which can include erosion control, site stabilization, and other post-fire recovery efforts.
From a funding and eligibility standpoint, this was posted June 20, 2011, with an application closing date of July 25, 2011, and later archived September 30, 2016. The BLM anticipated a single award, with estimated total funding of $1,800,000, an award ceiling of $1,800,000, and an award floor of $500. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. Eligible applicants were limited to state governments, and the funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically signals close involvement and coordination with BLM during project planning and delivery.
For applicants or parties seeking the original announcement details, the listing referenced Grants.gov as the additional information source. The contact provided for access issues was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, at 530-252-5338 and lparker@blm.gov.
