Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering a small, targeted cooperative agreement opportunity focused on native plant restoration in northwestern Oregon, specifically within the Marys Peak Resource Area. The core problem the grant is trying to address is that native plant habitats across both public and private lands in the region have been degraded over time by a mix of natural processes and human-caused impacts. Because of that decline, there are now limited local sources of native plant material suitable for restoration work, which makes it harder to rebuild functioning native habitats after disturbance or to improve degraded sites.
The work the BLM wants to support centers on rebuilding that supply of locally appropriate native plants by funding projects that collect native plant materials, propagate them, and then sow or otherwise reintroduce them into restoration areas. The opportunity highlights a range of species that are currently scarce as restoration sources, including Angelica, blue violet, California yellow-eyed grass, yarrow, seaside daisy, seaside lupine, seaside aster, native willow, conifers, salal, and Oregon grape. In practical terms, a competitive project under this grant would likely involve identifying appropriate collection areas, gathering seed or other plant material responsibly, growing plants in a nursery or propagation setting when needed, and delivering seed/starts for installation back into priority restoration sites in or connected to the Marys Peak Resource Area. The emphasis is on producing usable native plant material and getting it back on the ground to improve restoration outcomes.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM), offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordination on methods, target sites, timing, or deliverables). The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 15.231. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a wide range of applicant types (subject to any additional eligibility details that may appear in the full notice), which can include nonprofits, educational institutions, local governments, tribes, and potentially private entities, depending on the program rules.
The funding level is modest: the maximum award (award ceiling) is $14,000, with the BLM expecting to make one award. The opportunity was posted on June 7, 2016, and the application closing date was August 8, 2016 (with the original and current closing dates matching). The funding opportunity number is L16AS00165, and the title is "BLM OR/WA - Native Plant Restoration, Northwestern Oregon." Overall, this grant is best understood as a focused, single-award effort to jump-start or expand the availability of native plant materials for restoration by supporting local collection, propagation, and reestablishment activities tied to BLM restoration priorities in the Marys Peak area.
