Opportunity Summary:
The "BLM NV Winnemucca District Cooperative Wilderness and Wilderness Study Area Projects" notice (Funding Opportunity Number BLM NV NOI 09 1191) is a Bureau of Land Management announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior that serves as public notice of BLM's intent to fund a specific set of wilderness stewardship activities through a cooperative agreement. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning it was not published to solicit competing proposals. Instead, the notice explains that BLM plans to move forward without full and open competition to support on-the-ground work focused on protecting designated wilderness areas and Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) within the Winnemucca District in Nevada.
The central purpose of the proposed program is wilderness protection through monitoring and restoration, with a strong emphasis on leveraging a partner organization that has a substantial volunteer base. The idea is that a volunteer-driven partner can significantly expand BLM's capacity to care for remote backcountry areas by organizing trips that combine field monitoring, basic restoration, and practical stewardship tasks. The notice highlights the Friends of Nevada Wilderness model of restoration and monitoring trips, describing them as experiences that blend exploration and teamwork with hands-on work in Nevada's backcountry. In practical terms, these trips are meant to put trained, organized volunteers into wilderness and WSA landscapes to gather observations, help address impacts, and support the long-term health and character of these protected areas.
A key feature of the approach described is coordination and information sharing between the partner and the BLM district. Resource data and monitoring information collected during volunteer trips would be shared with BLM, and that shared information would then help identify which wilderness areas and WSAs need specific attention. Using that jointly developed understanding of conditions and needs on the ground, the partners would plan projects and carry them out, with the goal of targeted, practical stewardship that aligns with wilderness management priorities.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was categorized as a discretionary environmental funding action using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The CFDA program number listed is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,000, an award ceiling of $3,000, and an award floor of $1. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated. Although the eligibility field is listed as "unrestricted," the overall structure of the notice makes clear that it functions as an intent-to-award style public notice rather than an open competition, which is consistent with the statement that the agency intends to proceed without full and open competition.
The notice was posted and created on July 13, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 5, 2009, and an archive date of September 5, 2009. The announcement points readers to Grants.gov for additional information and provides a point of contact for access issues: Susan Kaller, Grants Management Officer, reachable at skaller@blm.gov.
