Opportunity Summary:
The BLM UT Moab FO Canyon Country Fire Zone Riparian Restoration opportunity is a discretionary Department of the Interior (Bureau of Land Management) cooperative agreement aimed at supporting on-the-ground restoration and fuels reduction work on BLM-managed public lands in Utah. The core purpose is to continue partnering with Plateau Restoration, an organization positioned to mobilize a large volunteer base, particularly students and other interested groups, to carry out practical conservation projects. In addition to the field work itself, the program is designed to provide hands-on training and education for selected young adults in resource management and conservation, pairing real project implementation with workforce development and outdoor education.
Geographically, the work is intended to occur across the Utah BLM Canyon Country Fire Zone, specifically within the Price, Moab, and Monticello Field Offices. The opportunity emphasizes identifying and implementing a range of resource management and restoration projects that improve ecosystem resilience and reduce wildfire risk, while also enhancing recreation-related assets where appropriate. The project list is broad and flexible, allowing BLM and the partner to target current, priority needs on the landscape rather than limiting activities to a single restoration technique or site type.
Eligible project activities include hazardous fuels removal and fire pre-suppression efforts, along with installation of barriers and other protective infrastructure. Riparian improvements are a central theme, but the scope also covers fencing repair or new fence installation, earthwork such as excavation or fill, construction of enclosures, and active revegetation through planting and seeding. The program also supports weed eradication and invasive species control, sediment control measures, and slope restoration, all of which are common needs in disturbed watersheds and stream-adjacent habitats. Recreation and public-use improvements are also contemplated, including trail improvements, upgrades to public information areas and campgrounds, and work related to water impoundments. Across all of these actions, the consistent requirement is that the work contributes to training and developing young adults in practical conservation skills and principles.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity was posted on September 2, 2009, with an original and final closing date of September 11, 2009, and it was later archived on October 30, 2009. The funding opportunity number is BLM UT NOI 09 1634, and the activity aligns with CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. BLM anticipated making one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding available was $75,000, with individual award sizes ranging from a floor of $500 to a ceiling of $10,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, which generally means applicants were not required to bring non-federal match to be considered, although project leverage and partner contributions can still be advantageous depending on the agency review criteria.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of entity types, subject to any clarifications contained in the full announcement. The instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordinating, shaping, or participating in project execution compared to a standard grant. For official details and the full announcement, the listing referenced Grants.gov as the primary source. The point of contact provided for access issues was Maria A. Gochis at mgochis@blm.gov.
