Opportunity Summary:

The Canyon Country Public Lands and Riparian Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00331) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement aimed at continuing an ongoing partnership with Rim to Rim Restoration to support land and riparian restoration work in the Canyon Country District of Southeast Utah. The main purpose is to help the BLM address invasive species and noxious weed problems across public lands in the region, while also carrying out broader vegetative restoration efforts in riparian corridors and other priority public land sites. In practical terms, the work is focused on improving ecosystem health and resilience by reducing harmful invasive plant pressures and re-establishing desirable native or appropriate vegetation.

The opportunity emphasizes implementation-oriented field work. Rim to Rim Restoration is expected to continue designing and carrying out on-the-ground restoration projects using a mix of common restoration tools. Activities may include herbicide application for invasive and noxious weed control, planting trees, seeding disturbed or degraded areas, installing irrigation where needed to establish vegetation, and conducting additional vegetation treatments to improve plant community composition and habitat conditions. A key feature of the announcement is that the partner organization is described as already having the staffing, equipment, and required training and certifications to perform this type of work, which signals a focus on timely, technically competent project delivery rather than research or planning alone.

Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category, tied to CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The BLM anticipated making one award. The posting date and creation date were August 27, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 10, 2010, and the opportunity archived on October 31, 2010. The estimated total funding amount listed is $150,000, while the award ceiling and floor are both stated as $20,000, indicating the individual award amount for this specific listing was set at $20,000 even though broader program totals may have been captured elsewhere in the system. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning any entity type could apply unless further limitations were described in the full announcement on Grants.gov.

For access to the full announcement and application details, the listing points applicants to Grants.gov. The designated grants management contact was Maria Gochis, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 801-539-4178 and mariagochis@blm.gov.
