Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR-WA: Youth Natural Resources Projects - Coos Bay" is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM), focused on creating hands-on conservation and public lands work experiences for youth. The BLM is looking to partner with a single recipient under a cooperative agreement to plan and carry out natural resource projects across public lands within the Coos Bay District in Oregon. The central purpose is twofold: to complete practical on-the-ground restoration and maintenance work that benefits public resources, and to give participating youth meaningful education, job exposure, and skill-building opportunities tied directly to natural resource stewardship.
The work supported by this opportunity is centered on conservation projects that improve and protect public lands. Examples specifically mentioned include invasive weed treatments, habitat improvement efforts, and recreation site maintenance. In practice, this could involve removing or controlling invasive plants to protect native ecosystems, restoring or enhancing habitat conditions for fish and wildlife, and improving the condition and usability of recreation sites so the public can safely access and enjoy them. The emphasis is on tangible outcomes that enhance and conserve recreation opportunities as well as fish, wildlife, and plant resources throughout the Coos Bay District.
A major goal of the program is youth development through real-world experience. The BLM frames the projects as a way to help youth connect with the natural world while gaining positive work experiences. Alongside conservation outcomes, the program is designed to build job skills, encourage personal responsibility, and support longer-term attitudes of community service and stewardship. The opportunity also highlights a workforce pathway angle, noting that participation may help youth consider future employment in natural resource management by giving them exposure to conservation careers and the day-to-day realities of working on public lands.
Administratively, this opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00051 and falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.231). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant, such as collaborating on planning, coordination, oversight, or technical guidance. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement text. The program anticipated making one award with an award ceiling of $180,000. The opportunity was posted on March 15, 2016, created the same day, and had an application closing date of May 14, 2016.
