Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Trumpeter Swan Habitat grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00097) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on natural resource conservation and habitat improvement in Wyoming. The purpose of the project was to support trumpeter swan habitat expansion by implementing wetland construction work that had already been planned and designed through coordination with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. In practical terms, the funding was intended to move from planning into on-the-ground construction and enhancement of wetlands that would provide suitable habitat conditions for trumpeter swans, aligning habitat work with established state and flyway-level conservation priorities.
This project was explicitly tied to two broader conservation frameworks: the trumpeter swan implementation plan developed by the Pacific Flyway Council and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department's trumpeter swan habitat expansion planning. By anchoring the work to these existing strategies, the opportunity emphasized coordinated, science-based habitat development rather than exploratory research or early-stage design. The description indicates that wetland construction plans were already in place and that the grant would fund implementation of those plans, suggesting an emphasis on tangible deliverables such as constructed or enhanced wetland features, improved water management or retention, and other habitat improvements that increase suitability for trumpeter swans.
The award mechanism was a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the BLM anticipated substantial involvement in the project in partnership with the recipient, rather than a more hands-off grant structure. The activity category was Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing was 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). Only one award was expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $350,000. The ceiling was also $350,000, while the award floor was listed as $0, indicating flexibility in the final award amount up to the maximum. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers for eligible applicants by not requiring them to contribute a defined non-federal share.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, which fits the project context since implementation was coordinated with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and aligned with statewide habitat expansion planning. The opportunity was posted on June 4, 2013, with an application closing date of July 1, 2013, and it was archived on July 15, 2013. Application materials were available through the announcement's application tab, and the listed point of contact for assistance or access issues was Robert J. Tichac (307-775-6313, rtichac@blm.gov).
