Opportunity Summary:

The Partners for Fish and Wildlife grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00113) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement. The program is designed as a voluntary habitat conservation effort that offers both technical guidance and financial support to private landowners and local partners who carry out habitat restoration projects that benefit Federal trust species. In this specific notice, the Service states its intent to provide up to $200,000 in total funding over a five-year period to the Dane County Land and Water Conservation Department in Wisconsin to restore and manage habitat on non-federal lands within Dane County. The work is aimed at improving multiple habitat types, including grasslands, riparian corridors, wetlands, and woodlands, with anticipated benefits that include enhanced wildlife habitat, improved water quality outcomes, and added educational value for the local community.

This announcement is not a competitive solicitation and does not include an application process or open closing date. Instead, it is a single-source notice of intent to award, meaning the agency has already identified the recipient organization and is proceeding under internal justification authorities (noted in the announcement as 505 DM 2.14B(1) and (4)). The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. While the total estimated funding is stated as $200,000, the listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which is a common artifact in certain federal postings when the award amount is described in the narrative rather than configured in the system fields.

From a program classification standpoint, the opportunity falls under environment and natural resources, with a specific emphasis on habitat and endangered species work. The posting references CFDA numbers 15.623 (North American Wetlands Conservation Fund) and 15.631 (Partners for Fish and Wildlife), signaling the broader federal assistance framework associated with wetland conservation and private-lands habitat restoration. The central deliverable is on-the-ground restoration and management activities on private or otherwise non-federal properties, which typically can include actions such as re-establishing native vegetation, improving wetland hydrology, stabilizing streambanks and buffers in riparian zones, managing invasive species, and implementing habitat practices that support priority wildlife species.

Administrative details show the opportunity was posted and created on March 29, 2012, and later archived on April 29, 2012. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact is Mike Engel at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 608-221-1206 or by email at mikeengel@fws.gov.
