Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Burns Malheur Wirelettuce Restoration Efforts, Burns District, Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00147) focused on conserving Malheur wirelettuce, a rare plant in Oregon. The central purpose of the grant is to improve the species long-term conservation outlook through proactive on-the-ground management that moves the species toward the larger end goal of self-sustaining wild populations. In practical terms, this is a targeted restoration and recovery effort that supports direct actions intended to increase population stability and reduce extinction risk.
For fiscal year 2011, the project is designed to strengthen an ongoing state and federal recovery initiative that relies on cultivated plants grown from previously collected wild seed. Those cultivated plants are being used in two complementary ways. First, they serve as transplants for repopulating suitable sites on BLM-managed lands in Harney County, Oregon, helping rebuild or reinforce wild occurrences where the plant historically occurred or where habitat conditions can support it. Second, cultivated plants are used as nursery stock to "bulk" seed in cultivation, meaning they are grown specifically to produce larger quantities of seed. That seed production component is meant to supply the continuing recovery program with enough genetically appropriate material to support repeated restoration plantings and other conservation actions over time, rather than depending solely on limited collections from the remaining wild plants.
The opportunity was issued by the Bureau of Land Management under the natural resources funding activity category, with the CFDA program listed as 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). It anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000. The award ceiling was $10,000 and the award floor was $1. No cost sharing or matching contribution was required. Eligibility was limited to state governments, reflecting the cooperative nature of the work and the emphasis on coordination with state-level conservation partners.
Key dates for the opportunity indicate it was posted on June 29, 2011, created on June 30, 2011, and had an application deadline of July 15, 2011 (both the original and current closing date). The opportunity was later archived on June 29, 2012. Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the "Application" tab in the posting, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Teresa Spickerman, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 503-808-6243 or teresaespickerman@blm.gov.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a small, focused investment intended to keep a rare plant recovery pipeline functioning: propagate plants from wild-origin seed, place transplants back into appropriate BLM sites in Harney County, and maintain seed production capacity in cultivation so the restoration program has dependable seed supplies for continued recovery work.
