Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Little Mountain Aspen Stand Project (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00205) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support natural resource work focused on aspen habitat in Wyoming. The core purpose of the project is to isolate (protect) aspen stands from heavy browsing pressure by large ungulates and then evaluate how reducing that browsing affects overall habitat conditions. In practical terms, this typically involves implementing measures that limit or prevent elk, moose, deer, or similar animals from repeatedly feeding on young aspen shoots, which can suppress regeneration and change the structure and function of the stand over time. The project also includes an analysis component aimed at measuring outcomes after protection is put in place, such as changes in aspen recruitment, stand vigor, associated plant communities, and broader habitat value.
This opportunity was administered under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management) and categorized under Natural Resources. BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $90,000. The notice lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal match funds as a condition of eligibility. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination on implementation details, monitoring protocols, reporting, or other aspects of project execution.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The original posting date and creation date were July 2, 2015, with an application closing date of August 31, 2015. The opportunity was archived on September 10, 2015, indicating the competition period has concluded and the listing is maintained for record-keeping rather than for new submissions.
For applicants at the time, the full set of instructions and required application materials were provided through the announcement package accessible via the "APPLICATION" section of the posting. The BLM point of contact listed for technical or access issues was Robert J. Tichac (307-775-6313, rtichac@blm.gov).
