Opportunity Summary:
The Restore New Mexico Healthy Lands Initiative for 2011 to 2016 (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00089) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity designed to support on-the-ground land health work in New Mexico through a cooperative agreement. The core purpose was to strengthen cooperation and consultation between BLM and partner organizations to plan, implement, and track projects that reclaim and restore wildlife habitat, repair impaired watersheds, and develop rangeland improvements across public, private, and state lands. A key emphasis of the initiative was not just completing restoration actions, but also monitoring the outcomes of reclamation and restoration work to verify that projects were achieving the intended land health goals.
The opportunity fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and was tied to CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). It was structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that BLM expected to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply issuing a grant. In practical terms, this format is commonly used when the agency anticipates active coordination with the recipient on planning, implementation steps, technical alignment, reporting, or shared decision-making as the work progresses.
BLM anticipated making one award under this announcement. The funding notice listed an estimated total funding amount of $20,000,000 for the initiative, while also indicating an award floor of $25,000 and an award ceiling of $25,000 within the opportunity listing. The announcement also included a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or eligible in-kind support) toward project costs in accordance with the full announcement instructions.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant entity (such as government units, tribes, nonprofits, educational institutions, or potentially others), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement text. Interested applicants were directed to use the application materials available through the announcement "APPLICATION" tab to obtain full instructions, requirements, and the submission package.
Key dates for the competition were posted on May 5, 2011, with a closing date of June 6, 2011 (the original and current closing date were the same). The record shows a creation date of May 26, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on June 30, 2011. For technical issues accessing the announcement or application package, the listed point of contact was Janet Yvonne Huff, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM, reachable at 505-761-8941 or via email at jhuff@blm.gov.
