Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "BLM WY Native Plant Materials Development High Altitude Evaluation and Increase" is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It focuses on building up the supply of Wyoming native plant materials that are locally sourced and ecologically appropriate, especially for use in restoration and reclamation projects on public lands. The core idea is to evaluate and/or increase plant materials that have been collected from the wild in Wyoming, with an emphasis on high-altitude conditions, so that land managers have better access to seed or other plant propagation materials that are well-suited to the environments where they will be used.
This opportunity was posted on June 10, 2011 (created June 9, 2011) and closed on June 24, 2011, with the opportunity later archived on December 31, 2011. The program falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. BLM expected to make one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. The award ceiling was set at $200,000 and the award floor at $0, meaning the final award could be up to the full amount depending on the proposed scope and budget.
The grant does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which reduces barriers for eligible organizations and allows applicants to propose a project based on need and technical merit rather than fundraising capacity. Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, specifically excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, this points to conservation organizations, native plant societies, restoration-focused nonprofits, and similar entities that have the capacity to collect, evaluate, propagate, and document native plant materials in a way that supports public-land restoration goals.
In terms of what BLM was looking to accomplish, the work centers on improving the availability of native plant materials that match local ecological conditions. That typically means identifying promising wildland collections, evaluating their performance in high-altitude environments, and increasing quantities through grow-out or other multiplication methods so that enough material exists for real restoration and reclamation use. The underlying restoration problem this addresses is that projects often fail or underperform when plant materials are not locally adapted, are poorly matched to site conditions, or are simply unavailable in sufficient quantities. By supporting evaluation and increase of Wyoming-native sources, BLM aimed to strengthen the pipeline from wild collection to usable restoration supply.
