Opportunity Summary:
The BLM UT Natural Resources and Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00122) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The opportunity was designed to support a single award focused on practical, community-based restoration capacity building in Utah, with an emphasis on partnering with Native American educational institutions. At its core, the project aimed to connect land stewardship work with education and tribal relationship-building by helping Native American schools and colleges develop the ability to grow and supply native vegetation used in restoration.
The proposed work centered on constructing greenhouses at local Native American schools and colleges so students could raise native plants such as sagebrush, grasses, and forbs, as well as propagate willow cuttings. These plant materials were intended for use by the BLM and other land management agencies in restoration projects, including efforts that require locally appropriate native species for habitat recovery, erosion control, and post-disturbance rehabilitation. A notable cultural component was also built into the project: willow cuttings grown through the program could support Native American ceremonial uses, aligning ecological restoration activities with culturally significant practices.
A practical outcome of the greenhouse approach was the creation of a local, student-supported supply of native plants that could be purchased by the BLM, other agencies, or tribal members. This purchasing pathway was meant to help make the greenhouse program sustainable while providing hands-on learning experiences for students, including plant propagation, nursery management, and broader natural resource concepts tied to restoration ecology. The broader goal was to strengthen relationships between the BLM and tribal communities while encouraging Native American youth to explore education and careers in natural resources.
Funding for the opportunity was set at an estimated total of $25,000, with both the award ceiling and floor listed as $25,000, indicating a single fixed-size award. Cost sharing or matching was not required. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning any entity type could apply as long as it met any requirements described in the full announcement. The posting date was June 27, 2013, with an application closing date of July 19, 2013, and an archive date of July 31, 2013. Additional details were available through Grants.gov, and the point of contact for access issues was Andrea J. Ramos, Contracting Officer, at 801-539-4145 or aramos@blm.gov.
