Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) opportunity titled "BLM OR/WA for Ely District, Nevada - Kern Mountain Landscape Restoration Stewardship Project" is a discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support natural resources work focused on large-scale landscape health and habitat restoration in the Ely District of Nevada. The central purpose is to restore and maintain healthier ecosystems while also responding to public interest in using woody biomass as a resource, particularly for energy or other beneficial uses. In practical terms, the project is designed to link habitat improvement and fuels or vegetation management with a marketable biomass component, so that restoration activities can contribute to cleaner energy generation and broader community benefits instead of leaving material unused.
A major emphasis of the project is improving and protecting sagebrush steppe and related habitats that support high-priority wildlife species. The announcement specifically highlights restoration and enhancement work benefiting elk, deer, pronghorn, greater sage-grouse, and other wildlife that depend on sagebrush landscapes. By improving habitat conditions, the project aims to support long-term species persistence and sustain recreational opportunities tied to healthy wildlife populations. The opportunity also notes that healthier ecosystems produce more native forage, which has direct implications not only for wildlife but also for livestock grazing and free-roaming equids, including cattle and wild horses, reflecting the multiple-use setting BLM manages.
Another key theme is partnership and shared investment. The project is framed as a way for nongovernmental organizations and private corporations to coordinate with land and wildlife management agencies to restore, protect, and enhance habitats and populations across the West. The stewardship approach described in the notice envisions partners pooling financial resources and aligning objectives, with the added incentive that biomass generated through restoration treatments can be used for clean energy production. The intended outcome is a mutual gain: improved habitat and landscape resilience on public lands, paired with a practical pathway for utilizing biomass that might otherwise be treated as waste.
From an applicant and funding perspective, this was a single-award opportunity with an expected total award of $451,000 (both the ceiling and floor are listed as $451,000), even though the broader estimated total funding for the program is stated as $2,000,000. It falls under CFDA 15.233, Forests and Woodlands Resource Management, and does not require cost sharing or matching. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity as allowed under the announcement terms, subject to any clarifications that may have been included in the full application instructions.
Timing details indicate the notice was originally posted July 26, 2011, with an initial closing date of August 12, 2011. A modification extended the application deadline to September 2, 2011, and adjusted the anticipated period of performance (the specific revised performance period would be found in the full announcement package). For administrative questions or access issues, the listed point of contact was Pamella Sterling, Grants Management Officer, at 503-808-6221 or psterlin@blm.gov.
