Opportunity Summary:
The BLM New Mexico Integrated Noxious Weed Control Program (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00207) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support the creation or strengthening of an integrated weed management program in New Mexico. The core purpose was to address noxious and invasive plant species through a coordinated approach that combines education, inventory and mapping, prevention, on-the-ground management, and, where feasible, eradication efforts. A key feature of the opportunity was its emphasis on working across land ownership boundaries, with projects intended to benefit and involve public lands as well as state and private lands, reflecting how invasive species spread regardless of jurisdiction.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as coordination, technical input, or oversight in planning and implementation. The funding activity category was Environment and Natural Resources, and the program aligned with CFDA 15.230 (Invasive and Noxious Plant Management). The opportunity anticipated making approximately two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (award floor) of $3,000 to a maximum (award ceiling) of $100,000. The announcement stated there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which would have lowered the barrier for eligible applicants and allowed limited local budgets to focus resources on direct project work.
Eligible applicants were limited to government entities, specifically state governments, special district governments, city or township governments, and county governments. This eligibility suggests the program was designed to support local and state public partners that can organize community-scale or watershed-scale weed management, coordinate with landowners, and sustain longer-term prevention and control strategies. While the opportunity description is brief, an "integrated weed management program" generally implies combining multiple compatible tools and tactics, such as early detection and rapid response, targeted mechanical or chemical treatments, biological control where appropriate, restoration or revegetation to reduce reinvasion risk, and public outreach to prevent spread through vehicles, livestock movement, or contaminated materials.
The opportunity was posted on August 7, 2012, with an original and final closing date of August 23, 2012, and it was archived on October 1, 2012. Applicants were directed to retrieve full instructions and application materials via the announcement's application section, and the listed point of contact for access issues and grant-related questions was Janet Yvonne Huff, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM, reachable at 505-761-8941 or jhuff@blm.gov.
