Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "RECOVERY PACIFIC CREST TRAIL MAINTENANCE AND TRAILHEAD CONSTRUCTION AND TRAIL MAINTENANCE IN THE TURTLE MOUNTAINS WILDERNESS" was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Department of the Interior, funding announcement intended to support on-the-ground recreation resource work on public lands. The core purpose, as stated in the announcement, was to manage recreational resource values on BLM-administered lands and to increase public awareness and appreciation of those recreation values. In practical terms, the opportunity focused on improving and sustaining public access and recreation infrastructure through trail maintenance and related trailhead construction activities, specifically referencing work on the Pacific Crest Trail as well as trail maintenance needs within the Turtle Mountains Wilderness.
This was a discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement, meaning the project would be carried out with substantial involvement from the federal agency rather than as a simple pass-through grant. The funding activity category was tied to the Recovery Act (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act-era funding), which commonly emphasized near-term, tangible project delivery, including conservation and recreation infrastructure improvements that could be implemented quickly and demonstrate clear public benefits.
The opportunity was assigned Funding Opportunity Number BLM CA RFA 10 0004 and was associated with CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. The announcement anticipated making 2 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $260,000. Notably, the award floor and award ceiling were both listed as $260,000, which suggests the funding amount may have been structured as a fixed total amount to be distributed in a defined way, potentially depending on how the agency ultimately made the two awards, but the published figures indicated $260,000 as the key funding level. Cost sharing or matching was required, meaning applicants needed to contribute non-federal resources (cash, in-kind services, or other allowable contributions) to meet the match requirement described in the full announcement.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This implies the agency was specifically seeking capable nonprofit partners, such as trail organizations or conservation groups with experience in volunteer coordination, trail construction, trail maintenance, and stewardship, to deliver improvements in partnership with BLM.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on December 24, 2009, created on January 8, 2010, and had an application closing date of January 19, 2010 (both the original and current closing dates were the same). The archive date was February 28, 2010, indicating it is no longer open. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement materials, and the listed point of contact for assistance accessing the announcement was Traci D. Thaler at tthaler@blm.gov.
Overall, this grant can be understood as a targeted, Recovery Act-era cooperative agreement for qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofits to partner with BLM on high-priority trail and trailhead work that would protect and enhance recreational resources, improve visitor experience, and build public understanding and appreciation of recreation opportunities on BLM-managed public lands, including prominent routes like the Pacific Crest Trail and backcountry settings such as the Turtle Mountains Wilderness.
