Opportunity Summary:

The BLM OR WA Lane County Juvenile Forest Work Team Recreation Maintenance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00213) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Land Management under CFDA 15.234, Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination. It is built around Title II of the Secure Rural Schools Act, which directs funds to counties for on-the-ground restoration, maintenance, and stewardship projects on federal lands, as well as projects on non-federal lands when those projects provide a clear benefit to federal lands. In practical terms, the program is meant to support work that keeps public lands healthier, safer, and more usable, with emphasis on reducing wildfire risk in wildland-urban interface areas, improving fish and wildlife habitat, and maintaining roads, recreation sites, and facilities.

This particular announcement is focused on recreation maintenance work associated with Lane County, Oregon, and the Lane County Juvenile Forest Work Team concept referenced in the title. While the short synopsis does not list specific tasks, the described purpose and activity category (Natural Resources) point to hands-on field work such as maintaining recreation infrastructure and facilities, addressing deferred maintenance that affects visitor access or safety, and completing stewardship activities that support broader land management goals. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a simple grant, applicants should expect substantial involvement by BLM in planning, coordination, or oversight of the funded activities, which is typical when the agency anticipates close collaboration on implementation details and performance expectations.

Eligibility is limited to county governments, and the announcement indicates cost sharing or matching is required. The posting lists an estimated total funding amount of $350,000, with an award ceiling of $70,098 and an award floor of $1, which suggests BLM anticipated making one award (Expected Awards: 1) within that ceiling, even though the broader program funding referenced may be larger across related efforts. The application window originally ran from July 21, 2014 (Posted Date and Creation Date) to August 20, 2014 (Closing Date), and the opportunity was later archived on July 20, 2015. Applicants were directed to retrieve full instructions and the application package via the announcement’s application materials, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Jessica Clark at BLM (503-808-6226, j1clark@blm.gov).
