Opportunity Summary:
The "BLM OR/WA West Eugene Wetlands Youth Projects" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00191) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement in the form of a cooperative agreement. It is designed to partner with an outside recipient to run youth-focused conservation projects in the West Eugene Wetlands Project Area in Oregon. The central idea is to combine on-the-ground natural resource work with education and practical job experience, helping young people build a stronger understanding of and connection to natural and cultural resources while they contribute to tangible conservation outcomes.
The projects supported under this opportunity focus on natural resource enhancement and stewardship work that benefits habitat, recreation areas, and broader ecosystem health. Example activities mentioned in the announcement include invasive and noxious weed treatment, fuels reduction work (often tied to wildfire risk reduction and land health), wildlife habitat enhancement, and recreation site maintenance. Work may take place on public and/or private lands within the West Eugene Wetlands Project Area, indicating the effort is meant to support landscape-level outcomes and partnerships that extend beyond a single land ownership boundary.
A major objective is youth development alongside resource conservation. BLM emphasizes providing positive work experiences and building job skills, personal responsibility, and a long-term commitment to community service. The program is also framed as a pathway toward future employment in natural resource management, suggesting that participants may gain exposure to conservation careers and practical field competencies. Projects can occur throughout the year, but most work is expected to be done during the main field season from April through September.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $35,000. The stated award range runs from a $1,000 floor to a $10,000 ceiling, implying that funding may be distributed in one or more increments under the cooperative agreement structure, or that project components may be funded at varying levels depending on scope. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not have cash or in-kind match available.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to applicants (subject to any clarifications in the full announcement under the eligibility section). The program is tied to CFDA number 15.231, "Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management," aligning it with conservation and resource management outcomes rather than purely educational programming. The announcement was posted June 19, 2015, with an application deadline of August 18, 2015, and it was archived June 19, 2016. Applicants were directed to the application package and full instructions via the announcement link, and a BLM point of contact was provided for access issues: Jessica Clark at 503-808-6226 or j1clark@blm.gov.
