Opportunity Summary:

The BLM WY Bittercreek Restoration Projects grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00004) is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on planning, coordination, oversight, and evaluation. The program sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.231) and is focused on improving conditions in the Wyoming Bitter Creek Watershed.

The core purpose of the opportunity is to support work that results in healthier rangelands and improved riparian habitats in the Bitter Creek Watershed. The description emphasizes doing this through partnerships with collaborative agencies, suggesting that proposals are expected to be coordinated across multiple stakeholders rather than carried out in isolation. The work supported under this opportunity includes project planning and on-the-ground implementation, monitoring to measure outcomes and track progress over time, education and outreach components, and cost sharing. In practice, that combination points to a watershed-scale restoration approach: planning interventions, implementing restoration actions, monitoring ecological response, and engaging partners and the broader community while leveraging non-federal contributions.

Eligible applicants are limited to governmental entities at the state, county, and special district levels. The posting indicates an expectation of one award. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which commonly signals that a specific maximum award amount was not provided in the synopsis and that interested applicants would need to consult the full announcement or coordinate with the agency for budget expectations and constraints. The opportunity was created and posted on November 23, 2015, with an application closing date of January 25, 2016 (both original and current closing dates match), indicating a defined, time-limited solicitation window.

Overall, this opportunity is aimed at enabling interagency, cooperative restoration and management activities in the Bitter Creek Watershed that protect or enhance rangeland health and riparian function, backed by monitoring, education, and shared investment among partners.
