Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Native Plant Materials Development, Vale District, Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00056) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement focused on strengthening the supply and documentation of native plant materials used for public-land restoration in eastern Oregon. The work is centered in the Vale District, specifically targeting landscapes along the Snake River corridor and the Owyhee Uplands, where native vegetation is often needed for stabilization, rehabilitation, and long-term ecological restoration following disturbance.
The core purpose of the agreement is to carry out field-based inventories and monitoring studies tied directly to practical restoration outcomes, with a major emphasis on collecting seed from both common and uncommon native plants, as well as other species considered important for the region. The project is explicitly aligned with the Seeds of Success (SOS) program, meaning the recipient is expected to follow SOS protocols for selecting target species and populations, documenting collection sites, and handling seed collections in a way that maintains traceability and usefulness for future propagation or research. In practical terms, SOS protocols help ensure that collections are scientifically documented (for example, capturing location and habitat information), repeatable, and suitable for building a reliable native seed pipeline.
Seeds collected under this effort are intended to be distributed to growers, researchers, and land management agencies rather than kept solely for local use. That distribution goal reflects the broader SOS mission: expanding the availability of genetically appropriate, well-documented native plant materials and improving knowledge of where those plant materials occur on the landscape and how they can be managed. By guiding the selection of needed native species for restoration and by recording the sources of those materials, the program supports more effective revegetation strategies on public lands, including projects aimed at restoring plant communities, improving habitat, and reducing erosion or other impacts following disturbance.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity under the Natural Resources activity category, offered as a cooperative agreement (which typically implies substantial federal involvement or coordination compared with a standard grant). The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $20,000, with an award ceiling of $20,000 and a minimum award level listed as $1. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is generally open to any applicant type unless further limited by details in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The opportunity was posted and created on March 25, 2011, with an application closing date of April 25, 2011, and it was archived on March 25, 2012. The CFDA program number associated with the funding is 15.231, described as Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management.
