Opportunity Summary:
The RECOVERY Native Plant Materials Development Hollister opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM CA RFA 10 0006) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Department of the Interior grant that supports on-the-ground ecological restoration work on the Fort Ord Public Lands in California. The core goal is to create a partnership between BLM and a local nonprofit to strengthen restoration capacity in the Fort Ord Management Area by developing reliable sources of locally adapted native plant materials.
The project work is focused on native seed and plant propagation. Specifically, the recipient is expected to collect local seed and propagate native species associated with maritime chaparral and vernal pool ecosystems, then supply these materials for restoration efforts on Fort Ord. In practical terms, this involves field collection of seed from local populations (to maintain local genetics and improve restoration success), followed by propagation activities that can produce viable plants or plant materials suitable for installation in restoration sites. The emphasis on maritime chaparral and vernal pool species reflects habitat types that are ecologically significant, often sensitive, and frequently impacted by disturbance, making them high priorities for restoration planning and implementation.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM anticipates substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds (for example, coordination on restoration priorities, technical guidance, site access, or integration with broader management goals). The program falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management.
Funding for the announcement totals an estimated $40,000, with an expectation of two awards. Each award is set at a fixed amount: a $20,000 floor and a $20,000 ceiling, meaning each selected applicant would receive $20,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which can make participation easier for smaller organizations that may not have access to separate match funding.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any entity type), although the narrative indicates the intent is to support a local nonprofit partner; applicants would want to align their proposal with that expectation and demonstrate local presence, restoration experience, and the capacity to carry out seed collection and propagation work for the specified habitat types.
The opportunity was posted on December 31, 2009, with an application closing date of January 27, 2010, and it was archived February 28, 2010. Additional details were available through Grant.gov, and the listed contact for assistance was Traci D. Thaler (tthaler@blm.gov).
