Opportunity Summary:
The BLM-OR Jackson and Josephine Counties Weed Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00182) is a Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM) cooperative agreement focused on coordinated, cross-boundary control of noxious weeds and other invasive or undesirable plants in Jackson and Josephine Counties, Oregon. The program is rooted in the practical reality that weeds do not respect property lines: even when BLM treats infestations on BLM-administered lands, untreated weeds on neighboring public or private lands can quickly reinfest managed areas. Because of that, the grant is designed to support cooperative, landscape-scale weed management rather than isolated, single-owner efforts.
The problem the opportunity addresses is the widespread and growing impact of noxious weeds across farmland, forests, roadsides, recreation sites, waterways, and other disturbed areas throughout the two counties. These invasive plants outcompete native species for light, water, nutrients, and space, reducing land productivity and degrading habitat for native wildlife, fish, and plants. The description also emphasizes real-world community impacts: weeds can clog waterways and diminish recreational access and experience. In short, the opportunity frames weed management as both an ecological and economic issue that requires consistent attention and coordinated prevention.
The approach centers on Cooperative Weed Management Areas (CWMAs), which are locally organized partnerships that bring together federal, state, and local agencies, tribes, nonprofits, watershed groups, land conservancies, and private citizens. Jackson and Josephine Counties organized CWMAs roughly a decade before the posting of this opportunity, and the notice highlights a history of active collaboration among groups such as BLM, the U.S. Forest Service, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Oregon Department of Agriculture, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Jackson County, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, watershed councils, The Nature Conservancy, the Southern Oregon Land Conservancy, and community members. These partnerships are presented as a proven structure for coordinating weed priorities across multiple jurisdictions, sharing information about what is spreading where, and aligning treatment timing and methods to prevent reinvasion.
Work supported under this agreement is meant to be both operational and community-facing. On-the-ground components include treating and monitoring priority weed species, with an emphasis on identifying which species (or groups of species) should be controlled or contained within specific geographic areas. The notice also points to Early Detection, Rapid Response (EDRR) inventories and treatments as a core strategy, reflecting the idea that catching new invaders early is more effective and less expensive than trying to reclaim heavily infested landscapes later. At the same time, the agreement supports the coordination and facilitation required to keep multi-partner efforts moving, including organizing meetings, aligning partners around shared priorities, and overseeing treatments.
Public education and outreach are also central. The CWMAs have a track record of hosting annual weed-pulling events, sponsoring weed lectures and field trips to improve identification and awareness, writing articles, preparing newspaper inserts, staffing informational tables at local events, and developing prevention-oriented programs like weed-free inspections for rock quarries. The grant opportunity explicitly includes continuing or expanding these kinds of efforts: coordinating educational events (including public weed pulling), developing and distributing educational materials, and carrying out outreach as applicable to reduce spread and build long-term community participation in prevention and control.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, under the Natural Resources activity category and CFDA 15.230. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a broad range of entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full notice. The opportunity anticipated a single award with an award ceiling of $10,000. It was posted on June 10, 2016, created the same day, and had an application closing date of August 10, 2016. Overall, the funding is positioned as targeted support to help sustain coordinated weed treatment, monitoring, prevention, and education efforts across Jackson and Josephine Counties where shared action among landowners and agencies is necessary to produce lasting results.
FAQs: BLM-OR Jackson and Josephine Counties Weed Management (L16AS00182)
What is the BLM-OR Jackson and Josephine Counties Weed Management opportunity?
It is a Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM) discretionary cooperative agreement focused on coordinated, cross-boundary control of noxious weeds and other invasive or undesirable plants in Jackson and Josephine Counties, Oregon. The opportunity is designed to support landscape-scale weed management that spans multiple jurisdictions rather than isolated efforts by a single landowner or agency.
What is the Funding Opportunity Number for this program?
The Funding Opportunity Number is L16AS00182.
Which counties and state does this opportunity cover?
The work is focused on Jackson and Josephine Counties in Oregon.
What type of funding instrument is being used?

It is described as a discretionary funding opportunity.
What is the main problem this opportunity is trying to address?
The opportunity addresses the widespread and growing impacts of noxious weeds across farmland, forests, roadsides, recreation sites, waterways, and other disturbed areas in the two counties. These weeds outcompete native species for light, water, nutrients, and space, reduce land productivity, degrade habitat for native wildlife, fish, and plants, and can clog waterways and reduce recreational access and experience.
Why does the notice emphasize cross-boundary weed management?
Because weeds do not respect property lines. Even when infestations are treated on BLM-administered lands, untreated weeds on neighboring public or private lands can quickly reinfest treated areas. Coordinated action across boundaries is presented as necessary for lasting results.
What is the overall approach or framework emphasized in the opportunity?
The approach centers on Cooperative Weed Management Areas (CWMAs), which are locally organized partnerships that coordinate weed priorities across multiple jurisdictions, share information about what is spreading where, and align treatment timing and methods to prevent reinvasion.
What is a Cooperative Weed Management Area (CWMA) in this context?
A CWMA is a local partnership that can include federal, state, and local agencies, tribes, nonprofits, watershed groups, land conservancies, and private citizens working together to coordinate weed prevention, treatment, monitoring, and education.
How long have Jackson and Josephine Counties had CWMAs?
The notice states that Jackson and Josephine Counties organized CWMAs roughly a decade before the posting of this opportunity.
What kinds of organizations are mentioned as CWMA partners?
The notice highlights collaboration among groups such as BLM, the U.S. Forest Service, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Oregon Department of Agriculture, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Jackson County, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, watershed councils, The Nature Conservancy, the Southern Oregon Land Conservancy, and community members.
What types of on-the-ground activities are supported?
