Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Dyer s Woad Control in Siskiyou Mariposa Lily and Yreka Phlox Habitat" is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-funded project focused on protecting sensitive native plant habitats in Siskiyou County, California by controlling the invasive weed dyer s woad. The project specifically targets areas where two protected plants occur, Yreka phlox and Siskiyou mariposa lily, and it is designed around the reality that dyer s woad can germinate from the seedbed almost year round. Because of that extended germination window, plus the ongoing risk of reinfestation from nearby untreated or lightly managed lands, the work is structured as repeated, long-term monitoring and treatment rather than a one-time removal effort.
The funded on-the-ground work centers on invasive weed control across two main treatment footprints: chemical treatment of approximately 55 acres associated with Yreka phlox populations and 38 acres associated with Siskiyou mariposa lily populations. The agreement emphasizes that protecting these habitats requires sustained management where dyer s woad is likely to spread back in from adjacent properties. To address that, the project includes both weed surveys and treatment activities on private lands in and around known populations of these plants, recognizing that habitat protection often depends on coordinated actions beyond public land boundaries.
Operationally, each population area will have private lands surveyed or actively worked at least twice per year to detect dyer s woad. When plants are found, they will be controlled using chemical spot treatments in most locations, with hand pulling used when infestations occur within designated buffer zones adjacent to the known protected plant populations. Treatments are expected to occur two to three times per year, reflecting the need to respond to multiple germination flushes and to prevent seed production and further spread. In practice, this approach combines frequent detection with rapid response control methods, while also using more conservative manual techniques where chemical use near the most sensitive habitat areas could pose higher risks.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant under the Natural Resources activity category, tied to CFDA 15.608 Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00247) was posted on May 27, 2015, with an archive date of June 10, 2015. The total funding amount is 40,000, and both the award floor and award ceiling are 40,000, indicating a single fixed award rather than a range of potential award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed.
This notice is not a competitive funding opportunity. It is explicitly described as a single source award that has already been awarded to the Siskiyou County Department of Agriculture, which is also the entity responsible for carrying out the survey and treatment work described.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the name of this grant opportunity?
The opportunity is titled "Dyer s Woad Control in Siskiyou Mariposa Lily and Yreka Phlox Habitat."
What is the main purpose of the project?
The project is designed to protect sensitive native plant habitats in Siskiyou County, California by controlling the invasive weed dyer s woad in and around habitat used by two protected plant species: Yreka phlox and Siskiyou mariposa lily.
Which invasive species is being targeted?
The invasive weed targeted for control is dyer s woad.
Which protected plants are the focus of the habitat protection work?
The work focuses on habitats where Yreka phlox and Siskiyou mariposa lily occur.
Where will the on-the-ground work take place?
The work is focused in Siskiyou County, California, including private lands in and around known populations of Yreka phlox and Siskiyou mariposa lily.
Why is the project structured as long-term monitoring and repeated treatment instead of a one-time removal?
The project is structured around the reality that dyer s woad can germinate from the seedbed almost year round. Because of this extended germination window, and because reinfestation can occur from nearby untreated or lightly managed lands, the work emphasizes repeated monitoring and treatment over time rather than a single removal event.
How many acres are included in the treatment footprints?
The project describes two main treatment footprints: chemical treatment of approximately 55 acres associated with Yreka phlox populations and 38 acres associated with Siskiyou mariposa lily populations.
Does the project include work on private land?
Yes. The project includes weed surveys and treatment activities on private lands in and around known populations of the protected plants, reflecting that habitat protection often requires coordinated action beyond public land boundaries.
How often will survey or field work occur each year?
Each population area will have private lands surveyed or actively worked at least twice per year to detect dyer s woad.
How often are treatments expected to occur?
Treatments are expected to occur two to three times per year. This frequency is intended to respond to multiple germination flushes and prevent seed production and spread.
What control methods will be used?
When dyer s woad is found, control will generally use chemical spot treatments in most locations. Hand pulling will be used when infestations occur within designated buffer zones adjacent to known protected plant populations.
When is hand pulling used instead of chemical treatment?
Hand pulling is used for infestations within designated buffer zones adjacent to the known protected plant populations, where a more conservative approach is used due to proximity to sensitive habitat areas.
What is the federal funding source for this project?
This is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-funded project.
What type of grant is this?
It is described as a discretionary grant under the Natural Resources activity category.
What is the CFDA program associated with this opportunity?
