Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Russian olive and Siberian elm control" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00124) is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It was posted on March 7, 2016, created the same day, and had an application closing date of March 14, 2016. The assistance listing is associated with CFDA number 15.652, which generally relates to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service refuge and wildlife-related financial assistance.
The purpose of the award is narrowly focused: providing funds to control two invasive tree species, Russian olive and Siberian elm, along the banks of the Green River and in other locations that can be reached from the river within the boundaries of Ouray National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). In practical terms, the work would likely concentrate on riparian corridors and river-accessible patches where these species tend to establish dense stands, outcompete native vegetation, and alter habitat conditions important to wildlife and overall refuge ecosystem function.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which usually means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant. That can include coordination on methods, work planning, compliance considerations, reporting expectations, and alignment with refuge management priorities. The opportunity category is listed as "Other" under funding activity, indicating it does not fit neatly into a standard research, education, or construction category and is more akin to on-the-ground habitat management or invasive species control work.
Financially, the opportunity indicates a maximum award amount (award ceiling) of $24,000, with one award expected. Eligibility is broadly described as "Others," with the detailed eligibility criteria referenced in an additional information field not included in the provided data. This typically suggests that applicants could include nontraditional partners beyond state or local governments, such as nonprofit organizations, conservation groups, or other entities capable of carrying out field-based invasive species control consistent with refuge requirements.
Overall, this is a small, targeted, single-award cooperative agreement intended to support direct invasive tree control work within Ouray National Wildlife Refuge, focused on riverbank and river-accessible areas along the Green River, with the goal of protecting and improving refuge habitat by reducing Russian olive and Siberian elm presence.
