Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "BLM UT Statewide Youth Conservation Projects in the Recreation Program" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00098) focused on engaging youth in hands-on conservation and outdoor recreation work across Utah. The central purpose of the program was to give young people practical, field-based experience with how recreation is planned, developed, and managed on public lands, while also building their understanding of natural resource stewardship. By participating directly in real recreation management activities, youth participants were expected to come away with a stronger connection to the outdoors, a clearer sense of how public lands help meet growing recreation demand, and a better understanding of the BLM mission and potential career paths within the agency.
The work described in the announcement emphasized training and on-the-ground projects tied to sustainable recreation management. This included exposure to sustainable trail signing practices, interpretation concepts (such as educating visitors through signs and related materials), and resource protection strategies that guide where recreation facilities can be placed and how they should be developed to minimize impacts. In practical terms, the projects were designed to blend visitor experience improvements with conservation-minded planning, helping participants learn that recreation infrastructure is not just built for convenience, but must be designed in ways that protect land health, cultural values, and natural resources.
Funding was to be awarded through cooperative agreements, which typically means the BLM would anticipate substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The opportunity fell under the Natural Resources activity category and was associated with CFDA number 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management). The announcement projected up to three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $18,000 up to a ceiling of $150,000, indicating that the program could support both smaller, targeted efforts and more robust statewide or multi-site youth project models.
A cost sharing or matching component was required, meaning applicants needed to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) toward the total project cost. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, suggesting that a wide range of applicant types could apply, although the notice notes that eligibility could be further clarified in the full text of the announcement. This open eligibility approach typically allows participation from entities such as nonprofits, local governments, educational institutions, tribal entities, or other organizations capable of managing youth conservation or recreation-related projects, provided they meet all federal requirements and can carry out the intended scope of work.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted on May 21, 2010, with a closing date of June 4, 2010, and it was later archived on August 31, 2010. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Andrea J. Ramos at the BLM, reachable at (801) 539-4145 and by email at aramos@blm.gov. The announcement also referenced Grants.gov as the primary platform for accessing the full details and submission materials.
