Opportunity Summary:

The BLM CO UFO GGNCA Travel Management grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00164) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary cooperative agreement focused on recreation and travel management work in Colorado. Specifically, it targeted the Uncompahgre Field Office and the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area (NCA), with the goal of supporting on-the-ground management of travel routes and trails while also improving the overall visitor experience and protecting public lands.

The selected recipient would work alongside BLM to assist with core travel management needs, including the development, monitoring, and maintenance of trails. The project emphasis was practical and field-oriented: keeping trails in good condition, tracking and addressing problem areas, and helping ensure that recreational use happens in a way that reduces resource damage. A major priority was improving visitor safety, which can include efforts such as identifying hazards, supporting better route design or upkeep, and helping the public navigate the area more safely through improved information and outreach.

In addition to trail and travel management work, the opportunity highlighted increasing protection of public land, meaning the cooperative partner would likely support actions that reduce unauthorized travel, limit erosion or habitat impacts, and encourage responsible recreation. The scope also included helping provide educational and informational materials tied to recreation and public involvement, suggesting an outreach component such as creating or distributing guidance for visitors, supporting interpretive or informational messaging, and assisting with opportunities for public engagement around recreation planning and use.

Funding for the opportunity was estimated at $75,000 total, with an award ceiling of $75,000 and an award floor of $18,750. BLM expected to make one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which meant applicants were not required to contribute additional funds as a condition of receiving the award. The opportunity was listed under CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, and it was open to unrestricted applicants (open to any type of eligible entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement).

Key dates show this was a time-limited, archived opportunity: it was posted and created on July 7, 2010, with an original and final closing date of July 21, 2010, and it was archived on August 20, 2010.

The full listing was available through Grants.gov via the additional information link provided in the notice.
