Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Recovery Act - BLM OR/WA Youth Employment Opportunities - Recreational Trails" (Funding Opportunity Number: BLM OR RFA 10 1825), was offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the Oregon/Washington Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was a discretionary grant program using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning recipients would likely carry out the work in coordination with BLM rather than operating completely independently. The overall purpose was to create paid employment opportunities for youth crews in local Oregon communities while completing recreational trail projects on public lands, aligning with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) goals of economic stimulus and environmental community service.
The work was focused specifically in Oregon within BLM's Medford and Prineville Districts, with projects centered on recreational trails. While the announcement does not list specific trail tasks in the provided text, the intent is clear: fund organizations that can mobilize and supervise youth crews to perform on-the-ground trail-related work that supports recreation access and stewardship. The funding falls under CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, which generally covers management and improvement of recreation resources on public lands.
BLM expected to make about six awards under this opportunity. The estimated total program funding was $280,000, with individual awards ranging from as little as $1 up to a ceiling of $120,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowered the barrier for applicants and made it easier for community organizations to propose youth employment projects without needing to bring additional cash or in-kind contributions to meet a match.
Eligibility was listed as "unrestricted," meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any clarifications that would have appeared in the full announcement. In practice, opportunities like this commonly attract youth conservation corps programs, nonprofits, local governments, tribes, educational institutions, and other organizations capable of hiring, training, and supervising youth crews to complete trail maintenance or improvement work to required safety and performance standards. The key theme is delivering both workforce outcomes (youth jobs and skills) and tangible public benefits (trail work completed).
The timeline shows the opportunity was posted on December 10, 2009, with an original closing date of January 11, 2010. The deadline was later extended to February 19, 2010, and the opportunity was archived on March 26, 2010. The listing also notes a creation date of February 1, 2010, which typically reflects an administrative update in the grants system rather than a new solicitation. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement details, and the listed contact for access issues was Pamella M. Sterling at psterlin@blm.gov.
In short, this ARRA-funded BLM grant was designed to put youth to work on recreational trail projects in the Medford and Prineville BLM districts in Oregon, supporting local employment and conservation service at the same time, with moderate-sized cooperative agreement awards, no match requirement, and a limited number of expected awards.
