Opportunity Summary:
The "Restoring New Mexico - Healthy Woodlands and Watersheds" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00289) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program offered through cooperative agreements to support environmental and natural resource work focused on forest, woodland, and watershed restoration across New Mexico. The central purpose is to strengthen the capacity of partners to conserve and restore wildlife habitat and to improve impaired watersheds, with an emphasis on developing restoration projects that cross jurisdictional boundaries. In practice, that means supporting coordinated, landscape-scale work that can be implemented on a mix of public, private, Tribal, and state lands, rather than treating each ownership or jurisdiction in isolation.
The program is framed around building and sustaining partnerships that can plan and carry out inter-jurisdictional restoration activities in forests and woodlands, with the broader goal of healthier watersheds and improved habitat conditions. While the announcement summary does not list specific required project types, the stated intent points to on-the-ground restoration and related planning or coordination efforts that help address habitat degradation and watershed impairment, and that can be integrated across different land ownerships. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect an active federal role in the funded projects, typically involving collaboration, coordination, or substantial involvement by BLM staff during project implementation.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at $10,000,000 total, with an expected three awards. Individual awards were anticipated to range from a $25,000 floor up to a $2,000,000 ceiling. The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, lowering a common barrier for applicants who may have limited non-federal resources available. The eligible applicant pool was listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was broadly open to many entity types, subject to any further eligibility details contained in the full announcement.
Key administrative details include an original and current closing date of September 13, 2012, with the opportunity posted and created on August 28, 2012, and archived on September 30, 2012. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 15.233, "Forests and Woodlands Resource Management." Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the "APPLICATION" tab in the original posting, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Janet Yvonne Huff, Grants Management Officer, at 505-761-8941 or jhuff@blm.gov.
