Opportunity Summary:
The "Recovery Act - Surprise Native Plant Development" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM CA RFA 10 2003) was a Department of the Interior grant announcement administered through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in California. It was offered as a cooperative agreement, which means the recipient would not simply receive funds and operate independently; instead, the project was designed to be carried out in close coordination with BLM staff, with BLM providing guidance and support during key parts of the work. The activity was explicitly tied to Recovery Act funding, and the associated program area was CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management.
The project’s purpose focused on practical, on-the-ground ecological restoration support through native plant and seed development. Under BLM guidance, the recipient would collect selected native plants and/or seeds intended for an ecological restoration effort. In addition to the physical collection work, the recipient would assist BLM botanists and biologists with restoration-related activities, including helping with seed collection efforts and participating in the identification and selection of plant species considered important for restoration success. BLM’s role included supporting the work by helping with the required botanical collecting permits, reflecting that collecting native plant materials often involves regulatory compliance and location-specific permissions.
The funding level for the opportunity was small and tightly defined: the estimated total funding was $20,000, with an award floor and award ceiling both set at $20,000, indicating an expectation of a single award in a fixed amount. The announcement anticipated one award overall. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, essentially open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement text. The posting date and creation date were both November 4, 2009, with an original and current closing date of November 24, 2009. The opportunity was archived on December 1, 2009, indicating it was a time-limited Recovery Act-era solicitation.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement through Grants.gov (linked in the notice), the contact provided was Leona B. Parker, reachable at lparker@blm.gov and lparker@ca.blm.gov.
