Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Crooked River Community opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00143) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support youth-focused natural resource and recreation management work in Crook County, Oregon, within the Prineville District. The central purpose is educational and hands-on: the project is designed to teach local youth how public lands are managed while also completing on-the-ground monitoring and maintenance work tied directly to BLM planning documents, specifically BLM land use plans and, where applicable, Wild and Scenic River Plans.
A key feature of the opportunity is the emphasis on employing Crook County youth and a crew leader. The funded partner would organize and supervise youth crews that carry out practical stewardship tasks on BLM-administered lands. While the announcement text is brief, the work described generally aligns with field-based monitoring and maintenance of natural and recreational resources, which can include activities such as checking conditions at recreation sites, helping maintain trails or visitor-use areas, monitoring sensitive resources, and supporting stewardship actions that keep public lands functioning for both ecological health and public enjoyment. In addition to paid project employment, the opportunity explicitly calls for engaging Crook County students through field trips on BLM lands, strengthening the educational component by connecting classroom learning to real landscapes and management challenges.
Funding is relatively small and targeted: the estimated total funding is $9,500, with an award ceiling of $9,500 and an award floor of $1, and BLM anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have access to non-federal match. The program is listed under CFDA 15.237 (Rangeland Resource Management), signaling that rangeland and related natural resource stewardship outcomes are a likely priority even when the work is framed broadly as natural and recreation resource management.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could apply (such as a nonprofit, local government, tribe, school, university, or other organization), subject to any clarifications that would have appeared in the full announcement package. The opportunity was posted and created on June 29, 2011, with an application deadline of July 15, 2011, and it was archived on June 29, 2012. Applicants were directed to download the full instructions and application package via the announcement's application materials, and the grants management contact provided for access issues was Teresa Spickerman, Grants Management Officer, at 503-808-6243 or teresaespickerman@blm.gov.
In practical terms, this grant is aimed at a partner that can recruit and manage youth crews, provide competent adult leadership and safety oversight, coordinate with BLM on priority sites and tasks identified in existing plans, and deliver meaningful educational experiences through field trips and job-based learning on BLM lands along the Crooked River area. The outcome BLM is seeking is twofold: measurable stewardship work completed on the ground, and a stronger pipeline of local youth who understand and can participate in public-land resource and recreation management.
