Opportunity Summary:
The FWS New Mexico Invasive Species Mapping and Control Project 2010 was a Region 2 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement to support on-the-ground invasive plant management work on National Wildlife Refuges in New Mexico. The project was carried out through the FWS New Mexico Invasive Species Strike Team (NMISST), which operates across six refuges statewide, with this particular task agreement focusing on four refuges. The overall intent combined two goals: delivering time-sensitive invasive plant mapping, control, and monitoring work, and creating hands-on internship opportunities that bring in participants from diverse backgrounds for practical conservation training and career exploration.
The funded partner was expected to help implement invasive plant management activities, including locating and mapping infestations, conducting control work, and monitoring results. Target species included, but were not limited to, invasive thistles, perennial pepperweed, and Russian knapweed. Because the work depended on chemical treatment windows, the announcement stressed that the schedule would be firm once agreed upon with NMISST. FWS would set the standards for herbicide application rates and would supply the herbicides and surfactants needed, but the government would not provide vehicles or equipment. A key eligibility-related operational requirement was that the applicant had to have a license to apply herbicide in the state of New Mexico, reflecting the project’s reliance on properly permitted chemical application.
A notable feature of the opportunity was its workforce development component. In addition to conservation field training, the project was designed to provide interns with professional development in life skills, job readiness, leadership, and stewardship connected to the national wildlife refuge system. Oversight for the work would come from New Mexico National Wildlife Refuge staff and the NMISST program coordinator, consistent with the cooperative agreement model where the agency remains actively involved in guiding standards and priorities while the recipient executes the work.
Funding for the opportunity was listed with an estimated total of $200,000, while individual awards for this particular announcement were expected to be a single award with a typical range between $25,000 (floor) and $35,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The assistance listing associated with the grant was CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. Eligible applicants were broad and included nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), as well as federal, state, local, and tribal governments and organizations, Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations, and even foreign governments as stated in the eligibility information.
Timing was tight and clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on April 26, 2010, and closed on May 3, 2010, with work anticipated to begin as early as May 15, 2010 and to be completed by July 15, 2010. The announcement indicated that only one applicant would be selected for award. For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Gina Dello Russo, Ecologist, reachable at 575-835-1828 or ginadellorusso@fws.gov.
