Opportunity Summary:
The Cougar Ridge Habitat Restoration opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00297) is a discretionary, single-source federal grant announcement administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife program (CFDA 15.631). The project purpose is straightforward and place-specific: to restore approximately 130 acres of upland habitat in Klamath County, Oregon. The funding instrument identified for this work is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the agency expects to remain substantially involved in the project during implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
From the listing details, this opportunity was posted and created on July 6, 2012, and later archived on August 1, 2012. It is categorized under discretionary funding and tagged within the broad activity area of Health and Natural Resources, reflecting habitat restoration as a conservation action with ecological and environmental health benefits. The announcement indicates no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning an applicant would not be required (at least per the summary data provided) to contribute a specific non-federal match to be eligible.
In terms of funding specifics, the public summary shows an estimated total funding amount of $0, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as $0 as well. In practice, entries like this can appear when the posting is informational, when funding is to be negotiated outside the public synopsis, when the award has already been targeted for a particular recipient (which aligns with the "discretionary single source" closing type), or when the system record was not populated with dollar figures. Because the closing date is described as "discretionary single source" rather than a standard competitive deadline, the opportunity reads like a non-competitive or directed award rather than an open solicitation.
Eligibility in the summary is listed as "Individuals," which is unusual for many habitat restoration grant programs that often prioritize landowners, nonprofits, tribes, local governments, or other entities. Since this is a single-source posting, the eligibility field may reflect the intended recipient type for that specific award record rather than an open call to a broad applicant pool. Anyone trying to understand whether they could realistically apply would need to consult the full announcement text (if available) or contact the program representative to confirm applicant eligibility and whether any applications were being accepted.
For applicants or interested parties who cannot access the full announcement electronically, the contact provided is Vicki Orr at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 530-667-8310 or by email at vickiorr@fws.gov.
