Opportunity Summary:
The BLM NV Elko DO Humboldt Watershed Invasive and Noxious Plant Project is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity focused on improving natural resource conditions on BLM-managed lands across the Elko District in Nevada by addressing invasive and noxious weeds. The core purpose is practical, on-the-ground weed management: projects funded under this opportunity are expected to eradicate weeds where feasible, or otherwise contain and reduce noxious weed populations to limit their spread and impacts. A key part of the effort is restoring treated sites by reseeding areas that were previously infested, using competitive vegetation to help occupy the site, reduce reinvasion risk, and support longer-term watershed and habitat health.
This opportunity was offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM) as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during planning, implementation, or oversight compared with a standard grant. The funding activity aligns with Natural Resources work and is associated with CFDA number 15.230. The government anticipated making one award under this announcement, with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $95,000.
Eligible applicants included a wide range of public and community-based entities that commonly partner with BLM on land management and restoration work: state governments; county governments; city or township governments; special district governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations that do not hold 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that category as described in the listing). The opportunity was posted on March 31, 2016, created the same day, and had an application closing date of May 31, 2016.
Overall, the grant is geared toward invasive plant control and follow-up restoration across the Humboldt watershed and broader Elko District BLM lands, emphasizing both suppression of noxious weeds and re-establishment of desirable plant communities so treated areas are more resilient and less likely to be re-infested.
