Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR/WA Lacks Creek Prairie Restoration Stewardship Project for the Arcata Field Office, CA (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00255) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the Bureau of Land Management. It is offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity area, specifically tied to CFDA 15.233 (Forests and Woodlands Resource Management). The announcement was posted on August 10, 2010, with an application deadline of August 25, 2010, and it was later archived on August 10, 2011. BLM anticipated making a single award under this opportunity.
The project focuses on ecological restoration within the Lacks Creek Management Area (LCMA), where historically open prairie and oak woodland habitats have been steadily converted to denser conifer and hardwood forest. The underlying problem described in the announcement is conifer encroachment driven largely by long-term fire exclusion over roughly the past 50 to 100 years. In practical terms, the absence of periodic fire has allowed Douglas-fir and tan oak to expand into areas that used to remain relatively open and dominated by native grasses and oak species. As canopy closes and shade increases, the plant community shifts away from prairie and oak woodland conditions, reducing the extent and health of habitats featuring Oregon white oak and California black oak.
The purpose of the funding is to support on-the-ground implementation of prairie and oak woodland restoration actions in the LCMA. While the announcement summary does not list specific treatment methods, the stated restoration goal implies work that reverses or slows conifer encroachment and helps re-establish the open structure characteristic of native grasslands and oak woodlands. The overall intent is stewardship-oriented: restoring and maintaining habitat conditions that have been diminished by a century of altered fire regimes and subsequent forest densification.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total program funding amount of $500,000, with an award ceiling of $60,000 and a nominal award floor of $1. The cost-sharing or matching requirement is explicitly stated as "No," meaning applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of eligibility, though cooperative agreements typically involve close coordination with the agency on planning, implementation, and reporting.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning any type of eligible entity could apply unless further limited by details in the full announcement. However, the notice signals BLM's expectation that the award would be made to a tribal organization located near the project area. That language suggests the agency was prioritizing local capacity and proximity, and likely valuing tribal participation and stewardship connections to the landscape, even though the competition itself was not formally limited to tribal governments or tribal nonprofits.
For applicants or interested parties seeking the full announcement at the time, the notice directed users to Grants.gov and provided a point of contact for access issues: Walter Ullrey, Agreements Specialist, at 503-808-6230 or wullrey@blm.gov.
