Opportunity Summary:
The Recovery Act Lost Coast Weed Trail Weed Eradication grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM CA RFA 09 2002) was a Department of the Interior funding notice issued under the Bureau of Land Management for a targeted invasive plant removal project in California. The work focuses on Cape ivy (Delairea odorata), a non-native invasive vine that can spread aggressively and smother native vegetation, especially in moist coastal environments. The project area is a drainage along the Lost Coast Trail within the King Range National Conservation Area, and the scope is specifically defined as the manual removal of roughly one acre of infestation.
The core goal of the project is thorough eradication rather than simple cutting or temporary suppression. The recipient would be expected to safely remove or kill all above-ground growth and also eliminate below-ground roots to minimize regrowth, with an emphasis on achieving few to no resprouts after treatment. Because Cape ivy can regenerate from remaining plant fragments, the announcement highlights careful manual control measures intended to prevent further invasion and long-term establishment along the trail corridor and adjacent habitat. In practical terms, this implies a hands-on field crew approach, with attention to complete root removal and proper handling of plant material so that fragments do not spread downstream or into nearby vegetation.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, indicating that the federal agency anticipated an active partnership role rather than a hands-off pass-through award. It was categorized under Recovery Act funding (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act-era project funding) and aligned with CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The expected number of awards was one, and the funding amount was fixed: an estimated total of $50,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $50,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds to be eligible.
Eligibility was limited to state government applicants, with the listing also indicating state government youth or conservation corps entities as eligible. The posting date was August 28, 2009, with a closing date of September 10, 2009, and the opportunity was archived on September 30, 2009. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for access to the full announcement and submission details. For technical difficulties obtaining the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Leona B. Parker at lparker@blm.gov.
