Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CO Northwest District Hazardous Fuels and Forest Management Activities opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00204) is a discretionary federal funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM). It is designed to support on-the-ground hazardous fuels reduction and broader forest and forestry management work across multiple project sites within BLM's Northwest District in Colorado. The core purpose is to organize and carry out treatments in a coordinated, cost-effective way, recognizing that working across several sites under one coordinated effort can improve efficiency, planning, and results.
The work funded under this opportunity focuses on practical land management treatments intended to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire while also strengthening overall forest and ecological health. In general terms, hazardous fuels and forest management activities can include actions such as thinning overgrown stands, removing dead or downed material that can carry fire, improving stand structure and species composition, and implementing other treatments that reduce fire intensity and improve landscape resilience. Beyond fire risk reduction, the opportunity emphasizes ecological benefits, including improvements to forest condition and habitat quality for wildlife. In other words, the program is not only about reducing fuels; it is also about restoring or maintaining healthier forest ecosystems and improving conditions for species that depend on those habitats.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more collaborative relationship between the recipient and the federal agency than a standard grant. While the detailed roles and responsibilities would be set out in the agreement and related project documents, the cooperative agreement format usually implies that BLM expects to have substantial involvement in coordinating, guiding, or participating in aspects of planning, implementation, oversight, or monitoring of the work.
The opportunity is listed under the Natural Resources funding activity category and references CFDA numbers 15.228 (and also includes 15.228 in the source data). The program is open to an unrestricted pool of applicants, meaning it is broadly available to any type of eligible entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that might have been provided in the full announcement text. The notice anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of $100,000, indicating a relatively focused, project-scale effort rather than a large multi-award program.
Key dates associated with the posting show that the opportunity was created and posted on June 17, 2016, with an application closing date of August 17, 2016. Overall, the grant opportunity is best understood as targeted support for coordinated fuels reduction and forest management treatments within BLM's Northwest District, aimed at lowering severe wildfire risk while delivering ecological and wildlife habitat improvements through active forest stewardship.
