Opportunity Summary:
The Recovery Act Arcata Native Plant Development grant (Funding Opportunity Number BLM CA RFA 10 2001) is a small, single-award funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on native plant conservation work in California. The project is centered on field-based prairie surveys in the Lacks Creek Management Area with the goal of identifying native perennial bunchgrass species and locating distinct populations that could support restoration or propagation efforts.
The core work involves going into prairie habitats, systematically surveying to find and document native perennial bunchgrasses, and then tracking the plants through their development stages when needed. This tracking is important because the project is not just about identifying grasses, but also about timing seed collection properly so that mature, viable seed can be gathered from selected species intended for propagation. In practical terms, this means the recipient would likely need repeated site visits across the growing season to monitor phenology (the timing of growth, flowering, and seed set) and to plan collections when seed is mature.
A key deliverable requirement is spatial documentation: the recipient must record seed collection locations and related metadata in a Geographic Information System (GIS). That implies producing georeferenced records for each collection site, typically including coordinates and descriptive information such as species identification, population notes, habitat conditions, collection date, and other field observations that add value for future management and restoration planning.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on November 4, 2009, with an application deadline of November 23, 2009, and it was archived on December 1, 2009. The program is associated with CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management) and is categorized under Recovery Act funding. The funding amount is fixed: the estimated total funding is $20,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $20,000, indicating the agency expected to make exactly one award at that amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants would not be required to contribute additional funds to receive the grant.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement on Grants.gov. For additional details or help accessing the full posting, the contact listed is Leona B. Parker at lparker@blm.gov, and the general listing reference is available through www.grants.gov.

What is the main focus of the project work?
The project centers on field-based prairie surveys in the Lacks Creek Management Area. The goal is to identify native perennial bunchgrass species and locate distinct populations that could support restoration or propagation efforts.
Where does the fieldwork take place?
The surveys are focused on prairie habitats in the Lacks Creek Management Area in California.
What types of plants are being targeted?
The work targets native perennial bunchgrass species found in prairie habitats.
What does the surveying work involve?
The core work involves going into prairie habitats and systematically surveying to find and document native perennial bunchgrasses. It also includes tracking plants through development stages when needed.
Why is tracking plant development stages part of the work?
Tracking is important for timing seed collection properly. The project is not only about identifying grasses, but also about collecting mature, viable seed from selected species intended for propagation.
Does the project require multiple site visits?
Yes. Because monitoring phenology (timing of growth, flowering, and seed set) is needed to plan seed collections when seed is mature, repeated site visits across the growing season are likely required.
What is phenology monitoring in the context of this project?
Phenology monitoring refers to observing and tracking the timing of plant growth stages, including growth, flowering, and seed set, to support properly timed seed collection.
What is a key deliverable of the project?
A key deliverable is spatial documentation: the recipient must record seed collection locations and related metadata in a Geographic Information System (GIS).
What GIS information is expected to be recorded?
The recipient is expected to produce georeferenced records for each collection site, typically including coordinates and descriptive information such as species identification, population notes, habitat conditions, collection date, and other field observations useful for future management and restoration planning.
