Opportunity Summary:
The King Range National Conservation Area (KRNCA) fish, wildlife, Ed, Plant grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00052) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category. Its central purpose was to form a partnership with a local nonprofit organization in southern Humboldt County to help BLM carry out key management goals identified in the King Range NCA Approved Resource Management Plan (RMP) and Record of Decision (ROD). The work emphasized practical, on-the-ground and community-facing support for conservation and stewardship across public lands within the King Range NCA, with attention also given to nearby public lands that influence the Mattole River watershed.
Programmatically, the opportunity focused on four closely related areas: fish and wildlife management, native plant conservation, educational outreach, and broader resource management actions that align with the RMP/ROD. The intent was not simply general environmental programming, but direct assistance with implementing BLMs established planning decisions and priorities for the King Range area. Because the Mattole River watershed is specifically referenced, the scope clearly contemplated actions that may extend beyond the immediate NCA boundary when those adjacent lands have watershed-level effects on fish and wildlife habitat, plant communities, or ecological conditions connected to the Mattole River system.
Funding for the opportunity was substantial, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. The notice indicated an award ceiling of $500,000 and an award floor of $500, and anticipated up to four awards, suggesting BLM expected either multiple smaller projects or a mix of project sizes depending on proposed work and partner capacity. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduced barriers for eligible nonprofits and allowed applicants to propose projects based on need and effectiveness rather than their ability to provide nonfederal match.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits holding 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This points to a deliberate emphasis on community-based or locally rooted nonprofit partners rather than academic institutions, likely reflecting the value of local presence, long-term relationships, volunteer engagement, or demonstrated experience working in southern Humboldt County and the Mattole River region. The cooperative agreement instrument also implies active federal involvement during the project, meaning BLM likely expected collaboration, coordination, and shared implementation responsibilities rather than a hands-off pass-through grant.
The timeline shows the opportunity was posted on April 28, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 1, 2010, and it was archived on July 1, 2010. The CFDA program number associated with the opportunity was 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). For applicants or researchers seeking the full announcement details at the time, the listing referenced Grants.gov and provided a BLM contact for access issues: Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, at 530-252-5338 and lparker@blm.gov.
In practical terms, this opportunity was aimed at supporting collaborative conservation and public engagement work that helps protect and enhance fish and wildlife resources, conserve native plant communities, and connect the public to stewardship and education efforts within the King Range NCA and the broader Mattole River watershed context, all while advancing the specific goals already laid out in BLMs approved management plan.
