Opportunity Summary:

The BLM Oregon/Washington Native Plant Restoration and Conservation grant opportunity (Eugene District, Oregon) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior aimed at improving ecological conditions on public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Eugene District. The central focus is practical, on-the-ground restoration and conservation work that supports native plant communities and the broader habitats they sustain. The work emphasized in the announcement centers on three connected priorities: recovering sensitive, threatened, and endangered species; controlling invasive species that degrade native ecosystems; and educating the public about these issues because the impacts and solutions often cross boundaries between public and private lands.

This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the project is expected to involve substantial involvement and coordination with the federal agency during implementation rather than being a hands-off pass-through award. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the relevant CFDA listing is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The opportunity anticipated making a single award, indicating the BLM likely intended to fund one primary partner to carry out a defined package of restoration, invasive species management, and outreach activities aligned with Eugene District priorities.

The estimated total funding available was $120,500, with an award ceiling of $120,500 and an award floor of $1. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal match to be eligible, though voluntary leverage or partner contributions may still have been viewed as beneficial depending on the full announcement details. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was broadly open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any specific clarifications in the full text of the notice.

Key dates show this was a short-turnaround solicitation. The opportunity was posted on September 13, 2009, with a closing date of September 18, 2009, and it was archived on October 18, 2009. The funding opportunity number is BLM OR RFA 09 1102. For applicants who had trouble accessing the complete announcement through Grants.gov, the listed point of contact was Pamella M. Sterling at psterlin@blm.gov, and the additional information link referenced Grants.gov as the location for the full announcement materials and instructions.

Overall, the grant was designed to support hands-on restoration of BLM-managed public lands in western Oregon, with an emphasis on improving native plant conditions, reducing invasive species pressures, and supporting the recovery of imperiled species, while also building public understanding of how these conservation challenges and solutions extend across the landscape.
