Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Peregrine Fund Interpretive Exhibit and Trail" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00085) to support an interpretive update focused on raptors and the local National Conservation Area (NCA). The core purpose of the project was to refresh and modernize an existing visitor center or museum exhibit so it reflects current conditions in the NCA and the raptor species that use the area. The grant frames exhibit renewal as a practical need for public-facing facilities, emphasizing that updated displays help maintain repeat visitation while keeping educational content accurate and relevant.
A key theme of the opportunity is public education tied directly to on-the-ground management goals. By improving interpretive materials about the NCA, its habitat, and raptor use of the landscape, the project aims to increase visitors' understanding and appreciation of local natural resources. The announcement also highlights the value of connecting local interpretation to The Peregrine Fund's broader, worldwide raptor conservation work, using that linkage to provide context and strengthen conservation messaging. In turn, better-informed visitors are expected to support BLM management of the NCA by encouraging responsible recreation and a clearer understanding of the resource values being protected.
The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $14,000, with an award ceiling of $14,000 and an award floor of $1. No cost sharing or matching was required. It was listed under CFDA 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management) and categorized within Natural Resources. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications in the full announcement instructions accessed through the application link.
The posting timeline shows it was posted May 3, 2011, created May 10, 2011, and closed May 18, 2011 (with the original and current closing dates the same). The archive date was May 3, 2012.
