Opportunity Summary:
The BLM-CO Front Range District Hazardous Fuels and Forest Management Activities grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00120) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would be expected to work closely with BLM staff rather than simply receiving funds with minimal federal involvement. The core purpose is to support a cost-effective, coordinated approach to completing hazardous fuels reduction and broader forestry management work across multiple project sites within Colorado's Front Range District.
The work supported by this opportunity is aimed at reducing hazardous vegetation and improving forest conditions in ways that lower the likelihood and potential severity of catastrophic wildfire. By carrying out fuels treatments and forest management activities, the program seeks to make landscapes more resilient, improve overall forest and ecological health, and enhance wildlife habitat conditions. In practical terms, the emphasis is on treatments that change fuel loading and structure and improve stand conditions so that future fires are less likely to become large, high-intensity events that threaten communities, ecosystems, and public resources.
This opportunity falls under the funding activity categories of Disaster Prevention and Relief and Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.228. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, indicating that applications were open to a wide range of entity types, as long as any additional eligibility conditions described in the full announcement were met. The funding parameters included an award ceiling of $100,000, with BLM anticipating a single award. The announcement was created and posted on May 18, 2016, with an application closing date of July 15, 2016.
Overall, this grant was designed to help BLM and a partner organization jointly implement on-the-ground fuels and forestry treatments in the Front Range District, with the larger public benefits of wildfire risk reduction, healthier forest and ecological conditions, and improved habitat outcomes for wildlife.
