Opportunity Summary:
The Leonas Little Blue Butterfly grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00269) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding notice issued as a Cooperative Agreement under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. It is specifically published as a Notice of Intent to Award to a single recipient, Applegate Forestry, LLC, meaning the agency is signaling that it plans to make one award rather than running an open, competitive selection. The opportunity was posted on June 27, 2012, with a closing date of July 6, 2012, and it carries a fixed award amount: an award floor, ceiling, and total estimated funding all set at $30,971. No cost sharing or matching funds are required.
The core purpose of the project is to support field surveys for Leonas Little Blue Butterfly, a species that has been petitioned for listing under the Endangered Species Act. According to the petition cited in the notice, the butterfly was asserted to occur only on the Mazama Tree Farm in the Sand Creek area of southern Oregon. The agency notes, however, that additional populations could plausibly exist beyond that single reported location, particularly in similar habitats in Oregon and northern California. Because Endangered Species Act decisions depend heavily on the best available scientific information, the project focuses on gathering updated, defensible distribution data by searching additional suitable or potentially suitable habitat areas.
Survey work described in the announcement targets multiple locations where habitat conditions may support the species. These include, but are not limited to, the Sand Pinnacles area near Crater Lake National Park and several creek systems in the region such as Bear Creek, Cottonwood Creek, Sink Creek, and Miller Creek. The scope also extends farther south and east, referencing areas identified from Mount Shasta up to the Medicine Lake volcanic highlands, which implies an interest in volcanic and sandy or pumice-influenced landscapes where comparable ecological conditions might occur. All survey activities are to be completed in coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, indicating the work must align with agency protocols for species detection, data recording, and reporting, and likely involves coordination on timing, methods, access, and documentation standards.
Eligibility is limited to for-profit organizations other than small businesses, consistent with the intended recipient named in the notice. The funding activity category is listed as Environment/Natural Resources, and only one award was expected. For additional access issues or questions about the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Tia Adams, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, reachable by phone at 541-885-2520 or by email at tiaadams@fws.gov, with an additional information link pointing to Grants.gov.
