Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under the Department of the Interior, offered a discretionary funding opportunity to support maintenance, monitoring, and outreach activities tied to the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail (PNNST) in northern Washington, specifically within the BLM Spokane District. The effort is designed to pair BLM with a partner through a cooperative agreement to carry out practical, on-the-ground natural resource and recreation improvements along the trail corridor and surrounding areas. A central theme of the opportunity is improving the public's understanding and experience of the PNNST while also upgrading facilities and trail conditions.
The projects envisioned under this grant focus on both stewardship and education. On-the-ground work can include trail maintenance and monitoring, as well as planning and design for alternate trail alignments. A key long-term goal is to help move portions of the PNNST off roads and onto dedicated trail tread where feasible, which generally improves user safety, trail continuity, and the quality of the scenic trail experience. In addition to field work, BLM is seeking outreach and interpretation efforts such as PNNST-specific public engagement, environmental education, and the development of brochures and maps that help users understand the trail, its resources, and appropriate recreation practices.
Work supported by this funding could take place not only on BLM-administered public lands within the Spokane District, but also on lands managed by partner organizations, other agencies, and private landowners. That scope reflects how long-distance trails often cross multiple ownerships and require coordinated planning, shared messaging, and consistent standards to create a coherent route and visitor experience across the landscape.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed as Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00227 and falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category with CFDA number 15.225. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination, technical input, and shared implementation responsibilities. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning proposals could be submitted by any type of entity as allowed by the full eligibility terms. The opportunity anticipated a single award with an award ceiling of $6,000. The notice was created on June 28, 2016, with an original closing date of August 29, 2016.
