Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR/WA Umatilla County Invasive Plant Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00147) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management grant offered as a cooperative agreement to support coordinated invasive and noxious plant work in Umatilla County, Oregon. The program is built around the reality that BLM-managed federal parcels in the area are widely scattered and can be hard to reach, and that local governments and special districts often have stronger on-the-ground access, established relationships with neighboring landowners, and a track record of managing weeds across property boundaries. The central aim is to pool those strengths so invasive plant control is handled at a landscape scale rather than as isolated, parcel-by-parcel projects.
Funding is intended for cooperative, multi-jurisdictional efforts that both treat and monitor priority weed infestations across federal lands and adjacent public or private lands where coordinated action is needed. The announcement emphasizes that projects should be organized around clear priorities: applicants are expected to identify the undesirable plant species (or group of species) to be controlled or contained, define the specific geographic area where work will occur, and lay out a practical timeframe for starting and finishing the proposed tasks. In other words, the BLM is looking for proposals that are not just general weed control, but targeted work with a defined scope, schedule, and measurable management approach.
A key requirement is the use of an integrated management system. In this context, integrated management means a planned, interdisciplinary strategy that selects from all available tools to contain or control invasive plants. The notice specifically calls out the kinds of methods that may be combined as appropriate: education and outreach, prevention measures designed to stop new infestations, physical or mechanical control, biological control agents, herbicide applications, and cultural practices. Cultural practices can include targeted grazing and replanting when needed to restore desirable vegetation and reduce the likelihood of reinvasion. The point is to match methods to species and site conditions and to use a coordinated, programmatic approach rather than relying on a single technique.
The opportunity was posted June 5, 2015, with an application deadline of August 5, 2015, and it was archived June 5, 2016. The program anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. Individual award amounts were expected to fall between $1,000 (floor) and $5,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which typically lowers the barrier for eligible public entities to participate.
Eligible applicants were limited to governmental and quasi-governmental entities: state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts. The assistance listing tied to the program is CFDA 15.230 (Invasive and Noxious Plant Management), reflecting its focus on invasive species control and related monitoring and prevention activities. For full application instructions and required forms, the announcement directed applicants to download materials from the application package, and it provided a grants management contact at BLM (Sheryl Dowley, 503-808-6243, sdowley@blm.gov) for access or technical issues.
