Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Education Outreach and Restoration opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00074) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program offered as a cooperative agreement to support environmental education and outreach tied to watershed restoration work in the Calapooia watershed. The focus is on building partnerships with non-BLM organizations and coordinating restoration-related education and planning efforts that can take place on both Federal and non-Federal lands within the watershed. The core idea is to increase public understanding and hands-on involvement in watershed and riparian restoration before conditions decline, strengthening long-term stewardship and helping sustain watershed health, functions, and uses.
The program is designed around outreach and engagement rather than construction-heavy restoration alone. Projects are expected to target audiences such as local landowners, community volunteers, private organizations, and nonprofit groups, with the goal of encouraging participation in riparian restoration activities and promoting better day-to-day land and water stewardship. Alongside outreach, the objective includes coordinating comprehensive planning, conducting assessment work, and delivering educational programming that supports strategic, watershed-scale management. In practice, this points to activities like organizing volunteer events, developing landowner education materials or workshops, coordinating partners around restoration priorities, and using assessment results to guide where outreach and restoration efforts will be most effective across the watershed.
Funding for the opportunity is relatively small and appears intended to support a focused, local effort rather than a large multi-year initiative. The estimated total funding is $10,000, with a stated award ceiling of $2,500 and an award floor of $1, and the opportunity anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which lowers barriers for eligible applicants. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), reflecting the broader conservation and resource management purpose behind the watershed education and restoration work.
Eligibility for this particular announcement is limited to special district governments, meaning entities like watershed districts, soil and water conservation districts, or similar local governmental districts are the intended applicants. The opportunity was posted on July 9, 2013, with an application deadline of August 5, 2013, and it was archived on July 9, 2014. Applicants were directed to use the full announcement and application package available through the posting, and a BLM grants management specialist (Sheryl Dowley) was provided as the point of contact for access or application issues.
