Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Department of the Interior, offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "BLM UT Statewide Conservation Projects Available in the Recreation Program" (Funding Opportunity Number: BLM UT RFA 09 1144) to support recreation-related conservation work on public lands in Utah. The program set aside an estimated total of $100,000 to partner with qualified conservation corps, with the intent of getting on-the-ground projects completed while also delivering strong educational and workforce-development benefits for participating youth and students.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expected to be actively involved in the project beyond simply providing funds. The work fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and was associated with CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. The core purpose was to complete conservation projects that also enhance classroom learning by giving participants practical experience on public lands. BLM emphasized outcomes such as helping students learn about and appreciate natural and cultural resources, strengthening their understanding of public land stewardship, and sparking interest in future natural resources careers.
Funding was expected to be distributed across up to 10 awards. Individual awards had a stated floor of $500 and a ceiling of $50,000, giving applicants flexibility to propose smaller or mid-sized projects that fit local needs. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, lowering the barrier for eligible organizations to apply and making it easier for conservation corps programs to participate without needing to secure additional non-federal match.
Eligibility was limited to qualified youth or conservation corps organizations, as indicated in the eligibility information. The listing notes "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the clear requirement is that the applicant must be an eligible conservation corps entity to apply under this announcement. In practice, that points to organizations that operate youth or conservation corps programs capable of fielding crews and supervising conservation work consistent with BLM recreation and resource management goals.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted May 28, 2009, with an application closing date of July 30, 2009, and an archive date of August 31, 2009. Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov at the provided link. For applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Maria A. Gochis (mgochis@blm.gov).
