Opportunity Summary:
The Pronghorn Habitat Improvement Project is a discretionary federal grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NWRS R2 22530 1002) offered through Region 2 focused on environment and natural resources work that directly supports pronghorn survival on National Wildlife Refuge lands in Arizona. The core purpose is to improve habitat conditions for pronghorn by reducing invasive mesquite in priority areas identified under the Refuge Habitat Management Plan. By opening up the landscape and removing dense brush, the project is designed to help pronghorn move more freely across a larger, more contiguous area, which can improve access to forage and reduce barriers to movement. A second major benefit emphasized in the announcement is predator risk reduction: mesquite thickets can provide concealment for coyotes, so reducing that cover is expected to decrease ambush opportunities and improve pronghorn survival.
The work itself is straightforward, field-based habitat restoration. The project plans to hire a fully certified chainsaw crew to cut mesquite within a designated treatment area, then apply herbicide to prevent resprouting. After cutting and treatment, the removed mesquite would be managed either by piling it into brush piles and/or hauling it out of the area, depending on what Refuge management determines is most appropriate for the site. The location for treatment is not fixed in the notice; instead, Refuge management will select the exact site in consultation with the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGF), with the expectation that the effort will cover several hundred acres.
Partnership is a central feature of the opportunity. AZGF, the Arizona Wildlife Federation, and the Arizona Antelope Foundation are specifically identified as organizations that have approached the Refuge to collaborate, and the notice highlights broader interest among multiple nonprofit groups that support pronghorn management. The project is framed as a chance for the Refuge to work with local partners to complete a high-impact wildlife habitat improvement effort.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipates a single award with a total estimated funding amount of $29,446, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $29,446, meaning the award amount is effectively fixed at that level. The CFDA number is 15.642 and the instrument type is listed as "Other." There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) IRS status, excluding institutions of higher education.
The timeline in the announcement states the project would begin in October 2010 and continue depending on crew availability through April 2010 (the end date appears to be a typographical issue in the source text, but it indicates a multi-month work window spanning fall through spring). The opportunity was posted and created on March 30, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 13, 2010, and an archive date of May 13, 2010. For access issues or additional information, the listed contact is Sally Gall, Supervisory Wildlife Refuge Specialist, at (520) 823-4251 x103 or sallygall@fws.gov.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Pronghorn Habitat Improvement Project (NWRS R2 22530 1002)
What is the Pronghorn Habitat Improvement Project?

Why is mesquite removal a focus of this project?
Dense mesquite can create thick brush that limits pronghorn movement and fragments habitat.
