Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity titled "BLM-WO, Wet Meadows Restoration in Sagebrush & Grassland Wildlife Habitat" (Funding Opportunity Number L18AS00087). The program is designed to support on-the-ground restoration work in wet meadow habitats located within sagebrush and grassland ecosystems on public lands. The central goal is to improve habitat quality for game species and other wildlife by restoring and enhancing the condition and function of wet meadow areas, which are often key water-associated habitat features in otherwise drier landscapes.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project during planning and implementation rather than simply issuing funds and receiving final reports. The funded work falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.247. The BLM is seeking a partner organization (or partners) that can help carry out restoration actions in wet meadow areas, with an emphasis on practical, field-based implementation that results in measurable habitat improvements.
A notable emphasis of the program is cross-jurisdictional restoration. Wet meadows frequently extend beyond the boundaries of BLM-administered lands, crossing into other federal, state, tribal, local, or private jurisdictions. Because of that, the BLM is explicitly encouraging applicants to bring leveraged funding and local partnerships to the table, using collaborations to expand restoration beyond BLM parcels to adjacent lands where it makes ecological sense. This broader, landscape-scale approach is intended to improve long-term outcomes by aligning restoration actions across boundaries, reducing the risk that work done on one parcel is undermined by unmanaged or degraded conditions immediately upstream or nearby.
In terms of basic award details, the listed maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $1,735,000, and the BLM anticipated making about 11 awards under this announcement. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement text. The opportunity was posted (creation date) on July 30, 2018, with an original closing date of August 30, 2018. Overall, the grant is aimed at mobilizing partner capacity and local collaboration to restore wet meadow habitats in sagebrush and grassland settings, improving conditions for wildlife while encouraging coordinated stewardship across ownership and administrative boundaries.
