Opportunity Summary:
The OWL MOUNTAIN PARTNERSHIP grant opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding announcement structured as a cooperative agreement. Its core purpose is to support the Owl Mountain Partnership (OMP) in building and using an integrated, prototype decision-making process to resolve resource conflicts through ecosystem management principles. In practical terms, the effort is meant to guide landscape-level management programs, policies, and on-the-ground practices that protect ecosystem health and long-term sustainability while still accounting for economic, cultural, and social needs across both public and private interests. The work is centered in Jackson County, Colorado (the North Park area), where OMP is described as the only project of its kind and the only cooperative agency operating in that specific region.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is the continuation and formalization of an established working relationship between FWS and OMP. The announcement notes that the two have already collaborated for many years on fish and wildlife habitat restoration projects and have developed a functioning framework for how to plan and implement successful restoration and habitat-related work. The rationale for supporting OMP specifically is that the organization is locally based, its staff understand the landscape and local needs, and the partnership has proven productive over time. The opportunity frames this local knowledge and existing coordination as key reasons the agencies work effectively together and why the investment is expected to produce strong outcomes.
From a funding and award standpoint, the announcement anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding level of $100,000, described as the estimated value of the agreement over a five-year period. The listed award ceiling is $100,000 and the award floor is $18,000, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is Environment/Natural Resources, and the opportunity is identified under Funding Opportunity Number FWS R6 ARAPAHO 8 01. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which generally signals the posting is categorized in a broad or placeholder way rather than tied to a more specific CFDA program listing.
Eligibility is not open competition; it is explicitly described as a single-source agreement with Owl Mountain Partnership. That means other applicants are not eligible to apply directly for the main award. However, the notice indicates that interested parties may contact OMP regarding potential subgrants, providing OMPs phone number (970-723-0020) as the point of contact for that purpose. For access issues related to the full announcement, the notice lists Amy Thornburg at 970-723-8202 as a contact, and it also references an additional information link pointing to an OMP website.
The timeline in the source data shows the opportunity was posted on February 24, 2008, created on March 4, 2008, originally set to close February 29, 2008, and later updated to a current closing date of March 14, 2008, with an archive date of April 13, 2008. Overall, the announcement is best understood as a continuation cooperative agreement intended to sustain and expand a proven, place-based partnership for ecosystem-driven conflict resolution and habitat restoration work in North Park, rather than a broadly competed grant program.
