Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Grizzly Wildlife Habitat Management Area Improvement grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00127) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resources work in Wyoming, specifically within the Grizzly Wildlife Habitat Management Area (WHMA). The main purpose is to improve existing fence infrastructure that, while important for day-to-day livestock management, can unintentionally create major barriers to wildlife movement and can also pose risks or added impacts to birds. The project centers on modifying or redesigning fence configurations so they are easier for big game to cross and less harmful or disruptive to avian species, building on multi-year habitat and wildlife access improvement efforts already underway with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is expected to involve active collaboration between the award recipient and BLM rather than operating as a simple pass-through grant. The program falls under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The announcement anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $128,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, so applicants were not required to provide additional non-federal match funding as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility for this funding was limited to state governments, which aligns with the on-the-ground management role state wildlife agencies typically play in habitat and wildlife movement initiatives. In practical terms, the work described suggests a focus on fence improvements that reduce entanglement risk, improve permeability for species like elk, deer, and pronghorn, and minimize negative interactions with birds, while still maintaining the functional needs of livestock operations. The emphasis on continuing an existing Wyoming Game and Fish Department effort indicates the project was intended to fit into an established strategy rather than launching a new, standalone initiative.
The opportunity was posted and created on June 3, 2014, with an original and final application closing date of June 23, 2014, and it was archived on July 15, 2014. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or the application package, the listed point of contact was Robert J. Tichac at the Bureau of Land Management (phone 307-775-6313, email rtichac@blm.gov).
