Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Forest and Resource Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00110) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary cooperative agreement intended to strengthen on-the-ground forest and woodland conservation work across the western United States. The basic aim is to deliver practical tools, resources, and implementation capacity through conservation districts so they can help BLM collaborate more effectively with local municipalities and private landowners. The emphasis is on producing measurable conservation improvements that provide a clear public benefit, particularly where work needs to cross property boundaries and coordinate multiple partners.
Programmatically, the cooperative efforts are centered on cooperative forest and woodland conservation at a landscape scale, meaning projects are expected to look beyond single parcels and instead address broader ecological conditions across mixed ownerships. The scope includes forest and woodland restoration activities, fuels reduction work to lower wildfire risk and improve forest resilience, and protection of watersheds and wetlands connected to forested systems. Another major component is invasive species management in forestlands, which can include prevention, early detection, treatment, and follow-up monitoring depending on local conditions. Overall, the opportunity is geared toward integrated natural resource management actions that combine ecological restoration with risk reduction and long-term stewardship.
This funding is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination, technical input, or shared planning), rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The funding activity category is Environment, and the relevant CFDA listing is 15.233, Forests and Woodlands Resource Management. The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. Individual award amounts were expected to range from a minimum (award floor) of $10,000 up to a maximum (award ceiling) of $100,000. No cost share or matching requirement was listed, which lowers the barrier for eligible applicants that may have limited non-federal funds available.
Eligibility for this particular announcement was narrowly defined: the eligible applicant identified was the National Association of Conservation Districts, with the broader “Others” category referenced and clarified in the announcement’s eligibility text. The opportunity was posted June 21, 2013, created in the system on August 28, 2013, and had an original closing date of July 5, 2013, later extended to a current closing date of September 10, 2013. The archive date was October 10, 2013, indicating it is no longer open but remains useful as a reference point for how BLM structured cooperative forestry and cross-boundary conservation investments.
For applicants or partners needing the original full announcement package and application instructions, the listing directed users to Grants.gov. The point of contact provided for access issues was Lisa Clayton, Grants Management Officer at BLM (202-912-7098, lisaclayton@blm.gov).
