Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Native Plant Conservation and Recovery in Southwest Oregon opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00009) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding program designed to support on-the-ground and planning work that advances the conservation, management, and long-term recovery of native plants in Southwest Oregon, with particular emphasis on species that are state-listed or federally listed under the Endangered Species Act. The agreement is structured to strengthen understanding of at-risk plant populations and to translate that knowledge into practical recovery actions, including monitoring, habitat improvement, and restoration activities that benefit imperiled species and the native plant communities they depend on.
A central feature of this opportunity is its initial focus on the federally listed Gentner's fritillary (Fritillaria gentneri). The project is intended to support both planning and implementation of recovery actions for this species, which could reasonably include tasks such as refining recovery priorities, identifying or evaluating habitat needs, coordinating field surveys, improving population monitoring approaches, and carrying out management actions that reduce threats or improve habitat conditions. Beyond this initial emphasis, the cooperative agreement also allows for broader recovery-related work in Southwest Oregon aimed at assessing native plant communities, improving their condition, monitoring trends, and restoring habitats where degradation or other pressures have reduced ecological integrity.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals substantial involvement or collaboration by the agency during the project period, rather than a more hands-off grant structure. The total estimated funding for the opportunity is $25,000, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and an award floor of $1. The Bureau of Land Management anticipates making one award under this announcement. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies (identified as a challenge cost share), meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project consistent with the program requirements described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is limited to state governments. The opportunity is listed under CFDA number 15.238 and falls within the Natural Resources activity category. The announcement was posted on January 9, 2015, with an application closing date of February 9, 2015, and it was archived on January 9, 2016. For applicants needing the full announcement package and instructions, the notice directs users to the application materials available through the official posting, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Sheri Dowley, Grants Management Officer, at 503-808-6243 or sdowley@blm.gov.
