Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Conservation Corp Habitat and Recreation Enhancement opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00130) was a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The basic purpose of the program was to create and expand hands-on conservation projects that use Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) style crews to complete work that benefits the public, advances BLM land management needs, and provides meaningful youth employment and training. In practical terms, the projects supported under this opportunity were meant to improve the health of natural resources while also enhancing recreation experiences and visitor enjoyment on federal public lands in Wyoming.
The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of about $58,000. The stated award ceiling was $60,000 and the award floor was listed as $0, meaning proposals could be considered at varying funding levels up to the maximum. Because the funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect substantial involvement by the BLM during project implementation, such as coordination on project planning, oversight, technical guidance, and alignment with BLM priorities and compliance requirements. The grant also required cost sharing or matching, so applicants needed to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support) as part of the overall project budget.
Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, state governments, certain Native American tribal organizations (specifically those other than federally recognized tribal governments as listed in the eligibility statement), and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status that are not institutions of higher education. This eligibility set points to a focus on established entities that can recruit, train, supervise, and support youth crews, manage federal assistance awards, and comply with reporting and administrative requirements.
The core activities emphasized by the announcement were conservation and recreation enhancement tasks that are well suited for youth crews and that produce measurable on-the-ground improvements. While the summary description is broad, it clearly signals projects such as habitat restoration, resource protection, site rehabilitation, and recreation-focused improvements that increase safe and enjoyable public access while reducing impacts to resources. The overall intent was dual: improve ecological conditions and public-land infrastructure while also delivering workforce development benefits to youth through real project experience, public service, and conservation skills-building.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on July 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 29, 2013, and an archive date of August 15, 2013. In other words, it was a short application window typical of some targeted BLM funding announcements. The full announcement and application package were available through the listing's application materials, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Robert J. Tichac, Grant Management Officer, reachable at 307-775-6313 or rtichac@blm.gov.
