Opportunity Summary:
The Moab Fuels and Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number UT RFA 08 0011) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement opportunity focused on building job training partnerships that expand hands-on work experience for young adults. The core purpose is workforce development tied directly to on-the-ground conservation and land stewardship: applicants are expected to structure projects so that the work itself functions as practical training in resource management and conservation principles, not just as contracted labor.
The work is intended to take place on public lands across the Utah BLM Moab Fire District, covering the Price, Moab, and Monticello Field Offices. The opportunity is broad in scope and is designed to let partners identify and carry out a range of resource management and restoration needs within that district. Example project types include hazardous fuels removal and fire pre-suppression activities (supporting wildfire risk reduction and preparedness), installation of barriers, riparian improvements, fencing repair or new fencing, earthwork such as excavations and fill, construction of enclosures, planting and seeding efforts, weed eradication, sediment control measures, slope restoration, trail improvements, upgrades to public information sites and campgrounds, and work related to water impoundments. The announcement emphasizes that any selected work should clearly contribute to training and educating young adults through real conservation and restoration tasks.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity under the Natural Resources activity category, using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during planning and/or implementation. The program anticipated a single award. Total estimated funding for the opportunity was listed at $80,000, while the award amount for an individual project was set with both a ceiling and floor of $20,000, effectively indicating a $20,000 award level. No cost sharing or matching funds were required. Eligibility was described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on July 23, 2008, with an application closing date of August 1, 2008, and an archive date of August 31, 2008. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed point of contact was Maria Gochis, Grants Management Officer, at 801-539-4178.
