BLM OR WA Restoration and Conservation Projects, Eugene District Oregon | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Restoration and Conservation Projects, Eugene District Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00090) supports restoration and long-term conservation work in the West Eugene Wetlands and surrounding BLM-managed prairie habitats in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The need for the program is tied to the dramatic decline of native prairie ecosystems in the region, with the announcement noting that roughly 99 percent of wet and upland prairies have been lost since pre-settlement times. As those habitats have disappeared, many of the plants and animals that depend on them have become rare, threatened, or endangered, making active management and restoration a priority for the remaining protected parcels.

The project area is especially important because the BLM West Eugene Wetlands contain populations of multiple U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed species. The announcement highlights endangered species such as Fender's blue butterfly, Bradshaw's lomatium, and Willamette daisy, along with threatened species including Kincaid's lupine and Nelson's checkermallow. The grant is meant to help maintain and improve the habitat conditions these species require, recognizing that prairie and wetland systems often need sustained intervention (rather than one-time actions) to remain functional and resilient.

This funding is structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, with CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The program is designed to implement a range of on-the-ground and supporting activities consistent with BLM's long-term management direction. Specifically, it ties back to a 10-year Environmental Assessment (EA) implementation schedule developed in 2005 for BLM parcels in the West Eugene Wetlands project area. That EA schedule sets targets for desired habitat conditions and establishes priorities for maintenance, enhancement, and restoration work, and the grant is intended to help carry out those identified actions.

The scope of work is broad and includes, but is not limited to, projects focused on BLM Special Status Species, native seed and native plant efforts, habitat restoration actions, invasive plant management, and education and outreach. In practical terms, that can involve activities such as collecting or producing locally appropriate native seed, planting or augmenting native plant populations, restoring prairie structure and function, suppressing invasive species that degrade habitat quality, and engaging the public or partners to support stewardship and awareness. The emphasis is on improving ecological conditions over time and aligning implementation with the EA schedule's priorities.

Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $500,000, with an award ceiling of $167,800 and an award floor of $1. The expected number of awards is one, and the posting indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is noted as "Others" with additional clarification in the full announcement, and the notice states that the anticipated recipient is the Institute for Applied Ecology, suggesting the competition was targeted or that a specific partner was expected based on program needs and capabilities.

Key dates included a posted date of May 22, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 19, 2013, and an archive date of May 22, 2014. For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Sheryl Dowley at the BLM (503-808-6243, sdowley@blm.gov), and the announcement directed users to download full instructions and the application package via the "APPLICATION" tab in the source system.
