Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00178) is a Fish and Wildlife Service notice stating the agency intends to make a single-source award rather than run a competitive application process. It is tied to the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, which is a voluntary, incentive-based habitat conservation effort that helps private landowners improve wildlife habitat through a mix of technical guidance and financial support. The overall purpose is to restore and manage habitat that benefits Federal trust species, meaning wildlife and plant resources for which the federal government has specific stewardship responsibilities.
The planned award would be made through a cooperative agreement, which usually means the Fish and Wildlife Service expects to remain substantially involved in the work as it is carried out (for example, helping with project planning, technical standards, implementation oversight, or monitoring). The funding is described as up to $100,000 spread over five years, and the work would occur on non-federal lands in Wisconsin. The intended recipient is the Ice Age Trail Alliance, identified in the announcement as the single source for this award. The notice cites the internal justification authorities used for single-source decisions (505 DM 2.14B(1) and (4)), signaling that the agency has documented reasons for selecting this organization without competition.
The project focus is habitat restoration and management across multiple habitat types, specifically grassland, riparian, wetland, and woodland areas. These habitat improvements are expected to provide several public benefits, including better conditions for wildlife, improved water quality, and expanded education outcomes. In practice, this kind of work often involves activities such as restoring native vegetation, improving hydrology in wetlands, stabilizing and buffering stream corridors, managing invasive species, and using appropriate management tools to maintain healthy grassland and woodland structure over time. Because the lands are non-federal and the program is voluntary, the work is typically implemented through cooperation with private landowners who agree to conservation actions on their properties.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding within the Environment and Natural Resources activity area, with a specific emphasis on endangered species and habitat. The listing references CFDA numbers 15.631 (Partners for Fish and Wildlife) and 15.623 (North American Wetlands Conservation Fund), indicating the broader federal assistance programs connected to the type of conservation work being supported. The notice reports one expected award and explicitly states there is no application process for other applicants, so it is not open for competition. It also notes there is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified in the announcement.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on May 22, 2012, with no closing date because it is not a competitive solicitation, and it was archived on June 22, 2012. For additional details or accessibility issues, the point of contact listed is Greg Hamilton, Central Sands Biologist, reachable by phone at 608-221-1206 or by email at GregHamilton@fws.gov.
