BLM OR/WA, Inventory of Vernal Pool Suitable Habitat, Klamath Falls Resource Area | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR/WA, Inventory of Vernal Pool Suitable Habitat, Klamath Falls Resource Area" is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding announcement focused on natural resource research and inventory work in southern Oregon. The project centers on vernal pool habitats in the western half of the Klamath Falls Resource Area, with the core goal of improving BLM's understanding of where these habitats occur and what biological values they support. Vernal pools are seasonal wetlands that can support specialized plant and animal communities, including sensitive or strategically important species, so the work is aimed at producing practical, on-the-ground information that can guide management decisions.

This opportunity was released by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, under Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00241, and it falls under the category of discretionary funding. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing a grant, such as coordinating methods, reviewing deliverables, or collaborating on planning and implementation. The announcement also explicitly notes that the agreement fits within the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act context and the Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) program framework, both of which commonly emphasize collaborative, applied research and management-relevant outcomes.

The technical focus is surveying and mapping vernal pool suitable habitat. The intent is twofold: first, to determine the status of existing sensitive and strategic populations already known in the area (which implies field verification and assessment of known sites), and second, to locate and identify additional areas that contain habitat suitable for those same species (which implies broader habitat reconnaissance, predictive mapping, or targeted searches based on landscape and ecological indicators). In practical terms, a project like this would likely involve field inventories during the appropriate seasonal window when vernal pools are present and detectable, documentation of site conditions, and development of spatial products such as GIS layers and maps that characterize habitat distribution and potential.

In terms of funding and scale, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $10,238 and anticipates a single award. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 15.234, and the activity category is Natural Resources, which aligns with the habitat inventory and species-focused conservation purpose described. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that might appear in the full announcement text.

Key administrative details include a creation date of July 6, 2016, and an original closing date of September 5, 2016. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a small, targeted cooperative research and mapping effort designed to help BLM better inventory vernal pool habitats and evaluate where sensitive or priority species occur, with outputs likely intended to support resource planning, conservation, and land management actions within the Klamath Falls Resource Area.
