Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Sandy Basin Anchor Habitat Vegetation Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00237) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The work described is focused on the Sandy River Basin and is aimed at continuing an ongoing effort to improve habitat conditions by controlling invasive plant species and carrying out restoration plantings. The project targets priority sites and is notable for spanning both public and private lands, which suggests a landscape-scale approach where habitat improvements on multiple ownerships are treated as part of a connected system rather than isolated parcels.
The core purpose of the opportunity is straightforward: keep the existing restoration program moving forward by reducing invasive species pressure and re-establishing desired native vegetation through planting at key locations. In practice, this kind of project typically includes tasks such as identifying and treating invasive infestations (for example, through manual, mechanical, or herbicide-based control depending on site needs and compliance requirements), monitoring treated areas for reinvasion, preparing sites for revegetation, and installing native plants suited to local conditions to stabilize soils, improve riparian and upland habitat structure, and support fish, wildlife, and plant conservation goals. Because it is framed as a continuation, the emphasis is on sustaining progress already made at established priority areas rather than launching a brand-new initiative.
Funding for the opportunity is relatively small and tightly defined. The estimated total program funding is $25,000, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and an award floor of $1, indicating a single modest award intended to support a specific set of on-the-ground actions. The opportunity anticipates one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity may apply, subject to any additional eligibility language contained in the full announcement materials. However, the notice also explains that because the project is a continuation of an existing effort, the Bureau of Land Management anticipates making the award to the current recipient. In practical terms, that statement signals that while the competition may be technically open, the agency expects continuity with the organization already performing the work, often because they have the relationships, site history, and project infrastructure needed to carry the work forward efficiently.
Key dates indicate this was a time-limited solicitation. It was posted on August 13, 2012, with an application closing date of August 24, 2012, and it was later archived on August 13, 2013. The relevant CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, which aligns with the habitat restoration and invasive species management focus described.
For application materials and official instructions, the announcement directs applicants to Grants.gov. Applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement were instructed to contact Sheryl Dowley, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 503-808-6243 or sdowley@blm.gov.
