Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM WY Sublette County Conservation District Historic Aerial Imagery" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00263) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was categorized under Natural Resources, with a CFDA listing of 15.237, which aligns with rangeland resource management activities. The purpose of the funding was tied to a specific local need in Wyoming: supporting the Sublette County Conservation District (SCCD) in obtaining historic aerial imagery data that could be used to strengthen local leadership and decision-making around the development, conservation, and protection of natural resources in Sublette County.
At its core, the project focused on acquiring historic imagery, which typically means older aerial photographs or other archived image datasets that allow land managers and conservation planners to look back in time and compare past land conditions to current ones. Having access to this kind of time-series visual record can help a conservation district evaluate changes in vegetation, rangeland health, riparian areas, infrastructure footprints, and broader landscape patterns over decades. That historical perspective can be useful for planning, prioritizing conservation actions, documenting long-term trends, and supporting resource management discussions with landowners and agencies.
The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000. The notice did not list an award ceiling or floor (both were shown as $0), which usually signals that applicants needed to consult the full application package for any practical limits or that the award amount was essentially defined by the available total funding and the scope BLM intended to support. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which can reduce barriers for eligible entities by allowing them to apply without needing to commit local matching dollars.
Eligibility was limited to special district governments, which fits a conservation district like SCCD. The funding instrument was a grant rather than a cooperative agreement or contract, indicating the intent was to financially support the recipient in carrying out the proposed work rather than procure a service for the government, though exact expectations would have been clarified in the full announcement materials.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 22, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2012. It was archived on September 15, 2012, meaning it was no longer accepting applications after that point. Anyone needing the complete instructions at the time was directed to download them from the application tab in the full announcement. For access issues or questions, the listed point of contact was Robert J. Tichac at BLM, reachable by phone at 307-775-6313 or by email at rtichac@blm.gov.
