Opportunity Summary:
The Sage Steppe Ecosystem Restoration Strategy Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00215) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant competition designed to support large-scale rangeland restoration planning and implementation assistance tied to the Alturas Field Office. The focus area covered an extensive 6.5 million-acre landscape spanning northeastern California and northwestern Nevada. This region is dominated by sagebrush grasslands, commonly referred to as sagebrush steppe, a priority ecosystem for wildlife habitat, grazing, watershed function, and overall rangeland resilience.
The core problem the opportunity aimed to address was the declining health of the sagebrush steppe due to the expansion of western juniper into areas where it has increasingly encroached over time. Juniper encroachment can alter plant community structure, reduce native grasses and forbs, change fire behavior, and impact water availability and soil conditions, all of which can degrade habitat quality and overall rangeland condition. To counter this trend, the Strategy envisioned using a range of juniper removal and treatment approaches, reflecting the reality that different sites and invasion stages often require different restoration tools. Over a long planning horizon, the Strategy anticipated treating roughly 1.2 million acres of juniper encroachment over the next 50 years, signaling a sustained, landscape-scale restoration effort rather than a short-term project.
Administratively, the funding was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, with CFDA 15.237 (Rangeland Resource Management). The announcement anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000, which also served as the award ceiling, while the award floor was listed at $500. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted in general terms, but the eligibility information specifically referenced Special District Governments, suggesting that certain local or regional governmental entities may have been particularly relevant or expected applicants depending on the details in the full announcement.
The opportunity was posted on July 22, 2010, with an application closing date of August 10, 2010, and it was archived on August 30, 2010. Additional details and full application instructions were made available through Grants.gov. For access issues or questions, the listed point of contact was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 530-252-5338 or by email at lparker@blm.gov.
