Opportunity Summary:

The Buffalo Skeddle Landscape Mgt Rest Int opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CA NOI 08 2004) was a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was offered as a Cooperative Agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category, and it focused on implementing on-the-ground resource management work within the Buffalo Skedaddle Sage Grouse Population Management Unit. The core purpose was to carry out conservation and land management projects tied to sage-grouse habitat and broader ecosystem needs in that specific management area, using a partner organization to help deliver multiple related projects under one overarching agreement.

The announcement anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of up to $3,000,000 and an award ceiling of $3,000,000 (with a nominal award floor listed as $1,000). The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which typically means applicants could propose projects without having to document non-federal match as a condition of eligibility, although project partners often still contribute in-kind support in practice. Because the instrument type was a Cooperative Agreement rather than a standard grant, applicants should have expected substantial federal involvement during performance, such as coordination on work planning, technical direction, approvals, and monitoring consistent with BLM’s role and responsibilities.

Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, that points to conservation groups, habitat restoration nonprofits, and similar mission-driven organizations as the intended partners, especially those with demonstrated capacity to manage field crews, contractors, compliance requirements, and reporting obligations on large landscape projects. The description also explicitly noted assistance with hiring, suggesting the agreement may have supported staffing or recruiting efforts needed to implement the planned work, which can include project coordination, field implementation roles, or administrative support necessary to deliver multiple projects efficiently.

The posting date and creation date were both July 9, 2008. The original and current closing date were July 25, 2008, and the opportunity was archived on July 28, 2008. The associated CFDA number was 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), which signals the program’s alignment with federal conservation, wildlife habitat, and natural resource stewardship objectives, especially where land management actions are intended to protect species and sustain ecological function.

For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Leona Parker, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM, reachable by phone at 530-252-5338 or by email at lparker@ca.blm.gov.
