Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Oak and Pine Oak Habitat Restoration, Medford District, Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00192) is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support on-the-ground restoration of oak and pine-oak habitats in the Medford District of Oregon. The effort focuses on improving ecological conditions in several distinct oak habitat types by applying established, model restoration prescriptions that match the needs of each site. The overall intent is to recover and maintain healthier oak systems, particularly where historical oak dominance has been reduced by canopy closure, invasive species, altered fire regimes, or other stressors.
The project is built around selecting the right restoration tools for the right habitat setting. The announcement highlights three example habitat conditions: oak savannah, shrub oak habitats, and closed-canopy forests where oak historically dominated. Because these habitat types function differently and degrade in different ways, the treatments may vary. Potential actions explicitly mentioned include thinning (to reduce competing vegetation and reopen structure), removal of noxious weeds (to reduce invasive pressure and improve native plant establishment), prescribed burning (to reintroduce or mimic fire where appropriate and beneficial), and planting (to reestablish desired native species or accelerate recovery where natural regeneration is limited). In practical terms, the grant supports a tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription, with treatments chosen based on observed site needs and restoration objectives.
The work is described as occurring in phases. The first phase emphasizes applying the model prescriptions across different oak habitat types, establishing and implementing restoration treatments that fit each condition. A second phase is planned to expand treatment as additional funds become available, with an emphasis on treating high-priority areas. This implies a prioritization framework where sites of greatest ecological value, highest risk, or best opportunity for successful restoration are advanced when resources allow.
Beyond implementation, the opportunity also places clear value on outreach and knowledge transfer. The project includes field trips, presentations, and meetings with stakeholder groups as mechanisms to share results, explain methods, and disseminate information. This indicates the BLM is not only seeking habitat improvements but also aiming to build shared understanding and support among partners, land managers, and interested community or stakeholder audiences, potentially helping similar restoration efforts beyond the immediate project area.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on July 26, 2011, with an application closing date of August 15, 2011, and an archive date of July 26, 2012. It anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling; the award floor is $1. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, lowering barriers for applicants who may not have non-federal funds available. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any clarifications in the full announcement. The program is associated with CFDA 15.233, Forests and Woodlands Resource Management. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed grants management contact was Teresa Spickerman, Grants Management Officer, at 503-808-6243 or teresaespickerman@blm.gov.
