Opportunity Summary:
The Garfield County Noxious Weed Management within BLM jurisdiction in Colorado grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00255) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement focused on invasive and noxious plant control on and around BLM-managed lands in Garfield County, Colorado. The central purpose is to reduce the spread and impacts of noxious weeds by coordinating practical on-the-ground management with nearby private and other non-federal landowners, recognizing that invasive plants do not follow property boundaries and are most effectively addressed through cooperative, landscape-scale efforts.
The project objective is twofold. First, the recipient and BLM will work together to prevent new infestations, contain existing outbreaks, and control established noxious weed populations within BLM jurisdiction while also addressing pathways of spread that originate or persist on adjacent non-federal lands. This typically implies integrated weed management approaches such as early detection and rapid response, targeted treatment in priority areas, and coordinated planning so that actions taken on BLM parcels are reinforced by compatible actions on neighboring lands. Second, the effort includes an education component aimed at landowners and public lands users, with the goal of increasing understanding of why invasive species management matters, how weeds spread, and what actions individuals can take to limit introduction and movement (for example, cleaning equipment, managing disturbed areas, and recognizing priority species).
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects to be substantially involved during the period of performance rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The funding activity category is Environment and Natural Resources, and the CFDA program associated with it is 15.230, Invasive and Noxious Plant Management. The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $15,000. The award ceiling was $15,000 and the award floor was $1,500, indicating the project could be funded at varying levels depending on scope and proposal quality, but could not exceed the stated cap under this announcement. No cost sharing or matching was required, which lowers the barrier to participation for eligible applicants.
Eligibility was limited to county governments, meaning the primary intended applicant would be a county-level entity such as Garfield County or a county department/program capable of implementing weed management work in partnership with BLM and local stakeholders. Important timeline details include a posted date of July 23, 2014, with an original closing date of August 4, 2014, later extended to a current closing date of August 6, 2014. The archive date was August 23, 2014, indicating the opportunity is no longer active but remains available in archived form for reference.
