Opportunity Summary:
The Land and Water Conservation Fund Conservation Easement Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00212) is a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance, such as coordinating activities, providing technical input, or participating in oversight and implementation rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
The purpose of the opportunity is focused on conserving and enhancing important natural and public-benefit resources in a specific geographic area: the Snake River corridors and the Henrys Lake Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). The stated conservation priorities include scenic values, recreational resources, and wildlife-related resources. In practical terms, the emphasis on conservation easement management suggests work that supports the long-term stewardship, monitoring, and administration of existing conservation easements or easement-related conservation outcomes, helping ensure that protected lands continue to deliver the intended environmental and recreational benefits over time.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.231. The eligible applicant pool is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to different entity types, although applicants are still expected to review any additional eligibility clarifications that may be included in the full announcement text. The funding announcement was created on June 23, 2016, with an original application closing date of August 23, 2016.
In terms of funding scale and competitiveness, the announcement indicates a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $15,000. This suggests a relatively small, targeted project intended to support specific conservation easement management needs in the identified corridor and ACEC area, rather than a large multi-site program.
