Opportunity Summary:

The "Recovery Act BLM CO McInnis Canyons Travel Management" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00012) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant issued under the Recovery Act funding activity category to support on-the-ground travel management and recreation improvements in the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area (NCA) in Colorado. The core purpose of the grant was to improve existing trail conditions and expand or maintain sustainable recreation opportunities across the NCA, which generally means work that helps keep routes usable, reduces resource damage, and supports long-term public access that can be managed without steadily increasing maintenance problems.

This was a single-award opportunity, with BLM expecting to make one award. The estimated total funding available was $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $5,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, indicating applicants were not required to provide non-federal match to be considered competitive or eligible. The listing was associated with CFDA number 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, which aligns with projects involving recreation planning, trail and route management, visitor use improvements, and related stewardship activities on public lands.

Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any applicant type (for example, nonprofits, governments, tribes, institutions, or potentially other entities), subject to any clarifications that might have been included in the full announcement text on Grants.gov. The opportunity was posted on April 5, 2010, created on May 19, 2010, and originally closed on April 19, 2010, with a later current closing date of May 26, 2010. The announcement was archived on June 14, 2010, reflecting that it is no longer active and was tied to a specific Recovery Act funding window.

In practical terms, a travel management-focused project in an NCA commonly involves activities such as trail and route condition improvements, signage or wayfinding that keeps use on designated routes, minor trail hardening or drainage fixes to prevent erosion, rehabilitation of impacted areas, and other measures that help align recreation use with land protection goals. Because the description emphasizes "sustainable recreational opportunities," the intent was not just short-term repairs but improvements that reduce recurring impacts and maintenance burdens while supporting responsible public enjoyment of the area.

For applicants needing assistance accessing the announcement, BLM listed a contact: Yvonne Pier at 303-239-3908 and yvonnepier@blm.gov. The primary source for the full announcement was Grants.gov, referenced through the additional information link provided in the notice.
