Opportunity Summary:
The Invasive Species Control and Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CNWR 2009 03) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service cooperative agreement tied to the Landowner Incentive Program (CFDA 15.633) and focused on on-the-ground natural resources restoration along the Lower Colorado River. It was posted on July 22, 2009, with an application deadline of July 31, 2009, and an expected single award. The funding profile lists an estimated total of $25,000, with an award floor of $25,000 and an award ceiling of $84,000, and it does not require cost sharing or matching.
This announcement is unusual in that eligibility is effectively sole-source: applicants are limited to the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD/DOC), described as a wildland firefighting branch of the Arizona Department of Corrections located in southern Arizona. The justification provided is “Unique Qualifications,†meaning the agency views ASLD/DOC as uniquely capable of carrying out the work due to demonstrated capacity, specialized technical expertise, and operational resources. In practical terms, ASLD/DOC brings trained and supervised fire crews, ground transportation, and the tools necessary for cleanup and site preparation, making them well-suited for post-fire rehabilitation and invasive plant control work in rugged or recently burned landscapes.
The core purpose of the cooperative agreement is to restore native habitat within the historic floodplain of the Lower Colorado River, with a strong emphasis on areas affected by wildfire and at risk of future catastrophic fire events. The work described centers on restoration activities such as cleaning and clearing damaged areas, preparing sites, and planting native vegetation. A key ecological target is re-establishing habitat conditions that resemble historic cottonwood-willow gallery forests, which are characteristic riparian communities that support a wide range of wildlife species in the region.
The expected benefits are framed broadly but clearly: reducing the distribution of invasive exotic plants, improving habitat quality for threatened and endangered species, and supporting both resident and migratory wildlife that rely on riparian corridors and adjacent desert uplands. The announcement also highlights landscape-level outcomes, including creation of wildlife corridors and improved connectivity between restored sites, which can help native species recolonize areas that have already been restored. Additional co-benefits include improved aesthetics and reduced soil erosion through the establishment of stable native vegetation cover.
Operationally, the primary goal for ASLD/DOC under this agreement is to assist the Refuge with rehabilitation efforts in wildfire-damaged areas while simultaneously controlling invasive species that can fuel or worsen future fires. The listed point of contact for access issues is Walter Oldham, Refuge Manager, reachable by phone at 928-857-3253 through DOI USFWS.
