Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Judith Moccasins Stewardship Project in Montana was a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The project focused on natural resources work in the Judith and Moccasin Mountains near Lewistown, Montana, with an emphasis on improving and restoring forested habitats on public lands. A central goal of the effort was to support habitat restoration across a mix of vegetation types, specifically including forest stands with hardwood communities, as well as meadows and the grasslands that border and connect to those meadows. In practical terms, the opportunity was aimed at on-the-ground stewardship actions that would help maintain or recover healthy, diverse habitat conditions across this landscape.
Funding was offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, coordinating priorities, providing technical input, or working closely with the recipient as restoration activities are planned and carried out). The total estimated funding available for this opportunity was $70,000, and BLM anticipated making a single award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal match as a condition of eligibility under the basic posting.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, indicating the opportunity was open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional limitations that might have been described in the full announcement text on Grants.gov. The program was categorized under Natural Resources, and it referenced CFDA number 15.233 (Forests and Woodlands Resource Management), which aligns with projects involving forest and woodland stewardship, habitat improvement, and related land management activities.
The announcement was posted on August 6, 2009, and it closed on August 31, 2009, with an archive date of September 30, 2009. The funding opportunity number was BLM MT RFA09 1493, and the title was BLM Judith Moccasins Stewardship Project in Montana. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov (www.grants.gov) for the full announcement and submission details. For support accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Lori J. Anderson, Grants Management Officer, reachable at landerso@blm.gov.
