Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR/WA - Clackamas and Sandy Restoration and Invasives Partnership (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00058) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to support natural resource work focused on invasive species management and habitat restoration in two connected Oregon watershed areas: the Sandy River Basin and the Clackamas River (Clackamas Watershed Basin). The core idea is to build on a long-running, partner-driven restoration effort in the Sandy Basin while helping expand and organize comparable work in the Clackamas Basin, with BLM backing a single project that keeps momentum going and strengthens coordination across groups doing on-the-ground conservation.
In the Sandy River Basin, the work traces back to 2009 when the Sandy Basin Vegetation Restoration Coalition (SBVRC) identified high-priority restoration sites and laid out a long-term vision: protecting and restoring native plant and animal communities by combining cooperative invasive species management with habitat restoration. A major emphasis is restoring natural processes in both riparian and upland vegetation, while also supporting efforts that reconnect isolated aquatic habitats. The opportunity highlights that restoration actions in these settings can translate into direct stream benefits such as increased shade (important for water temperature and aquatic life), recruitment of large wood over time (a key driver of habitat formation and channel structure), improved habitat and channel complexity, and better erosion control. Because much of the earlier Sandy Basin restoration work has been successful, the program is described as shifting into a maintenance phase, meaning the highest priority needs are now more moderate but still essential: follow-up invasive plant removal, upkeep of native plantings, and continued stewardship to prevent restored areas from backsliding.
At the same time, the opportunity points to an expansion of similar collaborative invasive species and restoration work in the Clackamas Watershed Basin through the 2015 Clackamas River Invasive Species Plan (CRISP). The CRISP group is beginning coordinated implementation across four primary sub-basins, focusing on practical steps that make basin-wide invasive species work effective: coordinating partners, conducting surveys and mapping to understand where problem species are and how they are spreading, carrying out early detection and rapid response (EDRR) to stop new invasions before they become expensive and widespread, removing invasive species where they are already established, and restoring sites with native vegetation to stabilize gains and improve habitat quality. In simple terms, the Sandy Basin component is about protecting previous investments through maintenance, and the Clackamas component is about building a structured, collaborative program that can scale.
BLM states it is interested in supporting eligible applicants that can maintain progress already achieved and help promote and advance these coordinated efforts in the Clackamas basin. The funding is intended to support the kind of partnership-based work where agencies, nonprofits, local groups, or other entities align priorities, share information, and implement consistent approaches across ownership boundaries, which is often critical for invasive species control because infestations and re-infestations do not follow jurisdictional lines.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on March 15, 2016, with an application closing date of May 16, 2016 (original and current closing dates match). It anticipated one award with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $22,000. The CFDA listing associated with this opportunity is 15.230, and the eligible applicant category is listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity as long as it met any additional eligibility conditions described in the full notice. The awarding agency is the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM), and the funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates the agency expects substantial involvement or close collaboration during project implementation rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
Overall, the grant opportunity is aimed at practical, on-the-ground restoration and invasive species work that protects previous restoration investments in the Sandy Basin and helps launch and coordinate a parallel, basin-focused invasive species and native restoration effort in the Clackamas watershed, emphasizing mapping and planning, rapid response to new infestations, removal where needed, and long-term maintenance to keep restored riparian and upland habitats functioning and resilient.

What was the application closing date?
The application closing date was May 16, 2016 (the original and current closing dates match).
Where will the supported work take place?
The work is focused on two connected Oregon watershed areas: the Sandy River Basin and the Clackamas River (Clackamas Watershed Basin).
What is the overall purpose of the project?
The project is intended to support natural resource work that combines invasive species management and habitat restoration, while strengthening coordination across partners doing on-the-ground conservation in the Sandy and Clackamas basins.
How does the opportunity relate to existing efforts in the Sandy River Basin?
It builds on a long-running, partner-driven restoration effort in the Sandy Basin. The work traces back to 2009, when the Sandy Basin Vegetation Restoration Coalition (SBVRC) identified high-priority restoration sites and set a long-term restoration vision.
What is the main focus in the Sandy River Basin component?
The Sandy Basin component is described as shifting into a maintenance phase, with priority needs including follow-up invasive plant removal, upkeep of native plantings, and continued stewardship to prevent restored areas from degrading over time.
What kinds of ecological outcomes are associated with Sandy Basin restoration actions?
The opportunity notes that restoration in riparian and upland vegetation can translate into direct stream benefits such as increased shade (supporting water temperature and aquatic life), recruitment of large wood over time (supporting habitat formation and channel structure), improved habitat and channel complexity, and better erosion control.
Does the opportunity include aquatic habitat considerations?
Yes. It references efforts that reconnect isolated aquatic habitats as part of the broader restoration vision.
How does the opportunity relate to work in the Clackamas Watershed Basin?
It supports expansion of coordinated invasive species and restoration work in the Clackamas basin through the 2015 Clackamas River Invasive Species Plan (CRISP), helping build and organize a structured collaborative program.
What is CRISP in this context?
CRISP refers to the 2015 Clackamas River Invasive Species Plan and the group beginning coordinated implementation across four primary sub-basins.
What kinds of activities are emphasized for the Clackamas basin work?
The opportunity highlights activities such as coordinating partners, conducting surveys and mapping, implementing early detection and rapid response (EDRR), removing established invasive species, and restoring sites with native vegetation.
What does EDRR mean here?
EDRR stands for early detection and rapid response, described as a way to stop new invasions before they become expensive and widespread.
Why is coordination across groups and boundaries important for this opportunity?
The opportunity emphasizes partnership-based work across ownership boundaries because invasive species infestations and re-infestations do not follow jurisdictional lines, making consistent, coordinated approaches more effective.
Is the opportunity focused more on planning or on-the-ground work?
It is aimed at practical, on-the-ground restoration and invasive species work, while also emphasizing coordination tasks that support implementation (such as mapping, surveys, and partner alignment).
Who was eligible to apply?
The eligible applicant category is listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity as long as it met any additional eligibility conditions described in the full notice.
What is BLM looking for in an applicant?

How does this opportunity connect the Sandy and Clackamas efforts?
The core idea is to back a single project that keeps momentum going in the Sandy Basin (through maintenance of past restoration investments) while strengthening coordination and helping scale comparable collaborative work in the Clackamas Basin.
