BLM CO Noxious Weed Management in Rio Blanco County Colorado. | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The BLM CO Noxious Weed Management in Rio Blanco County, Colorado grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00056) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity designed to support on-the-ground invasive and noxious plant control efforts in Rio Blanco County. The project is meant to operate in partnership with an already established county weed management program, with the practical goal of reducing and controlling noxious or otherwise undesirable weeds across a landscape where land ownership is mixed. In Rio Blanco County, that mix often means public lands managed by BLM are intermingled with private property and other jurisdictions, so the program emphasizes coordinated management that works across boundaries rather than treating infestations in isolation.

The core purpose of the funding is twofold. First, it supports direct weed management actions intended to effectively control priority invasive species in the county, which typically includes activities like planning and prioritization of treatment areas, coordination among land managers, and implementation of control measures to prevent the spread of invasive plants that can damage rangelands, wildlife habitat, watershed health, recreation areas, and agricultural productivity. Second, it places a clear emphasis on education and outreach, with the expectation that the recipient will provide information to private landowners and public land users about why invasive species management matters and how people can help prevent new infestations or reintroductions. This education component is especially important in mixed-ownership landscapes, where long-term success depends on consistent practices across fence lines and shared corridors such as roads, trails, waterways, and grazing allotments.

This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category, which generally signals that BLM anticipates substantial involvement or close collaboration with the recipient during the project. The program anticipates making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $125,000 and an award ceiling of $125,000 (with a stated minimum award floor of $1,500). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, which can lower barriers for eligible applicants and allow the county program to focus resources directly on implementation and outreach rather than assembling match funds.

Eligibility is limited to county governments, reflecting the intent to work through local government infrastructure and established county weed programs that already have relationships, local knowledge, and operational capacity. The assistance listing associated with the opportunity is CFDA 15.230, Invasive and Noxious Plant Management, which aligns with BLMs broader invasive plant priorities and supports activities that reduce ecological and economic impacts from invasive species.

Key timing details show the opportunity was posted and created on March 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 16, 2014. Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the application materials tab referenced in the posting.
