Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "RECOVERY ACT BLM OR/WA Youth Employment Opportunity Loon Lake Campground Native Landscaping," was a one-time discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on putting local Oregon youth to work on an environmental improvement project at Loon Lake Campground. Funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), the project was designed to support economic stimulus and community service at the same time by creating paid, practical employment for youth crews while completing on-the-ground natural resource work.

The core purpose was youth employment with a strong training component. The project aimed to give participants meaningful, structured work that builds real-world skills, especially teamwork, leadership, and basic natural resource management practices. The work itself centered on "native landscaping" at Loon Lake Campground, which typically involves improving or restoring campground grounds using native plants and related site work that supports healthy recreation areas, reduces erosion, improves habitat values, and enhances visitor experience. While the announcement text provided here does not list specific tasks, the stated emphasis on natural resource management objectives indicates the project was meant to deliver both workforce development outcomes and measurable environmental improvements at the campground.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) planned to make a single award through a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expected to be substantially involved with the recipient during project implementation rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total of $16,000, which was also the award ceiling. The award floor was listed as $1, suggesting smaller proposals could technically be considered, but the practical target was clearly the full project amount. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing barriers for organizations that might not have had additional funds to contribute.

Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, indicating the competition was open to any type of applicant (such as nonprofits, local governments, tribes, educational institutions, or other entities), subject to any further clarifications that may have been contained in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The funding fell under CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, aligning the work with stewardship and maintenance of public recreation resources.

Key dates show this was a short application window typical of small Recovery Act projects. The opportunity was posted February 4, 2010, created in the system February 10, 2010, and closed March 3, 2010, with the archive date listed as April 2, 2010. Anyone needing the complete announcement was directed to the Grants.gov listing, and applicants who had trouble accessing the materials were told to contact Pamella M. Sterling at psterlin@blm.gov.
