Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "BLM OR WA for Redding Field Office, California Grass Valley Creek Stewardship Project" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00234) to support stewardship work in the Grass Valley Creek (GVC) Watershed area in or near Trinity County, California. The overall purpose of the project is to help the BLM Redding Field Office plan and carry out on-the-ground actions that improve forest health, strengthen broader resource management, and support recreation-related projects within the watershed. The grant frames the work as an integrated stewardship effort, meaning it is not limited to a single treatment type, but instead combines planning and implementation activities to address multiple watershed and forest objectives.
The core goals highlight two major outcomes. First, the project aims to improve habitat for anadromous fisheries, which typically refers to fish species that migrate from the ocean into freshwater systems to spawn (for example, salmon and steelhead, depending on the local watershed). This signals that at least part of the work may involve watershed and stream-focused actions that benefit fish passage, spawning and rearing habitat, and overall aquatic ecosystem function. Second, the project emphasizes creating a fire-resilient forest, pointing toward forest health and fuels-related work intended to reduce wildfire risk and improve forest structure and condition over the long term. A notable feature of the announcement is that it also ties forest resilience work to economic and community considerations by explicitly promoting the forest products industry, suggesting an interest in stewardship approaches that can produce usable forest products where appropriate and consistent with land management goals.
Administratively, the opportunity was issued by the Bureau of Land Management under CFDA 15.233, "Forests and Woodlands Resource Management," and categorized under Natural Resources. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BLM anticipated substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaboration on planning, coordination, technical input, and oversight during implementation. The announcement anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The posted and creation date were August 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2012, and an archive date of August 17, 2013.
In terms of funding scale, the source data lists an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000, but also lists an award ceiling of $45,000 (with an award floor of $1). That combination suggests the listing may reflect either a broader program-level estimate alongside a smaller ceiling for this specific action, or a data-entry inconsistency that applicants would typically clarify by reviewing the full announcement package on the application tab referenced in the notice. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligibility was labeled as unrestricted (open to any entity type), but the eligibility narrative indicated that BLM anticipated the award would be made to a local Trinity County special district or agency, which implies the project was expected to be carried out by a local public-sector partner with a direct connection to the area and the capacity to coordinate stewardship activities at a watershed scale.

Why do the estimated total funding amount and the award ceiling appear to conflict?
The notice itself flags that the combination of an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000 and an award ceiling of $45,000 could reflect a broader program-level estimate alongside a smaller ceiling for this specific action, or it could be a data-entry inconsistency. The notice indicates applicants would typically clarify this by reviewing the full announcement package referenced on the application tab.
