Opportunity Summary:
The NM Natural Resource Opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service focused on on-the-ground habitat and infrastructure work at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in central New Mexico. The refuge manages and restores habitats that support large concentrations of migratory winter birds as well as endangered and sensitive species, making habitat conservation and restoration a central priority. Refuge managers and biologists oversee these efforts, which emphasizes practical field projects that directly improve wildlife habitat conditions and the refuge's capacity to manage those habitats over time.
The grant centers on three main categories of work. First, it supports natural resources public works and infrastructure improvements, meaning maintenance or upgrades to refuge facilities and systems that are necessary for effective habitat management and public land stewardship. Second, it prioritizes control and removal of non-native plant species, reflecting the refuge's need to reduce invasive or undesirable vegetation that can outcompete native plants, alter habitat structure, and reduce habitat quality for wildlife. Third, it supports establishing native plant species, which typically involves planting or otherwise promoting native vegetation communities that provide food, cover, and overall ecosystem function for target species.
Within this continuation award, two specific project themes are highlighted. One is the removal of woody vegetation to benefit the New Mexico meadow jumping mouse, a species that depends on particular habitat conditions and can be negatively affected when woody plants encroach and change the composition and structure of riparian or meadow habitats. The other is infrastructure maintenance, reinforcing that maintaining functioning refuge infrastructure is considered integral to long-term habitat conservation outcomes, not a separate or secondary task.
Administratively, this opportunity was issued as a continuation (not a new open competition) under a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordinating, guiding, or collaborating on the work. The activity category is natural resources, and the program is associated with CFDA 15.611 (Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education). The opportunity anticipated a single award with total estimated funding of $26,000, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $26,000, indicating a fixed award amount. No cost sharing or matching was required. Eligibility was limited to state governments, aligning with the continuation nature of the award and typical cooperative relationships between refuges and state partners. The posting timeline shows it was posted September 16, 2011, with a closing date of September 21, 2011, and it was later archived on October 21, 2011. For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Bernard Lujan, Assistant Refuge Supervisor, at 505-248-6805.
