Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered this discretionary funding opportunity under the title "Recreation Site and Trail Maintenance, Vegetation Treatment, and Non native Invasive Species Management, Alaska" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00035). The project is focused on natural resource and recreation management work, with an emphasis on hands-on field projects that improve recreation sites and trails while also addressing vegetation issues and the management of non-native invasive species. The work is planned to occur primarily within a Special Recreation Management Area associated with the Anchorage Field Office in Anchorage, Alaska, meaning the main setting is BLM-managed lands where recreational use is significant and requires ongoing maintenance and stewardship.
A central goal of the project is workforce development rather than only land management outputs. The announcement specifically highlights creating opportunities for young adults and veterans to build leadership skills and to gain practical experience in project planning, coordination, and logistics. In other words, the project is meant to combine real on-the-ground conservation and recreation maintenance tasks with structured learning experiences that help participants develop professional skills that transfer to future employment in land management, conservation, recreation operations, or related public service careers.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that BLM expects to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply issuing funds. Cooperative agreements are often used when the agency plans to collaborate on implementation, provide technical direction, or coordinate closely with the recipient during the period of performance. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management), which is commonly used for federal assistance supporting recreation management, visitor services, and related on-the-ground work on public lands.
Financially, the opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $32,500. The award size was expected to fall within a range: a minimum (floor) of $6,500 and a maximum (ceiling) of $17,800. No cost sharing or matching was required, which lowers the barrier to entry for applicants that may not have additional funds to contribute. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement package.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on February 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of March 30, 2012. It later moved to an archived status dated April 30, 2012, indicating the application window had closed and the opportunity was no longer accepting submissions.
Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the "APPLICATION" tab referenced in the notice, suggesting that detailed requirements, scope of work, deliverables, reporting expectations, and evaluation criteria were contained in those attached materials rather than in the short synopsis. For access issues with the announcement, the listed contact was Sandee Smith in Grants Management, reachable at 907-271-5193 and s2smith@blm.gov.
