Opportunity Summary:
The Salmon Lake Special Recreation Management Area Trails Invasive Plant Study, Alaska is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on identifying non-native and invasive plant presence along transportation and recreation corridors in the Salmon Lake Kigluaik Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA). The SRMA covers roughly 290,000 acres and includes summer motorized off-highway vehicle (OHV) trail use as well as a developed campground. The central purpose of the project is to survey and document where invasive plants may already be established, or where they are most likely to appear, with particular attention to places where people and vehicles concentrate and where plant seeds can be unintentionally introduced.
The work is targeted specifically at road corridors and OHV trail corridors, including about four miles of trail inside the SRMA, plus the access routes and high-use areas associated with the Salmon Lake Campground. The campground itself is relatively small (about eight acres) but is strategically located near the outflow of Salmon Lake. That outflow feeds the Salmon River, which supports a well-known red salmon run and is important for both sport and subsistence fishing. Because of that setting, the announcement highlights that campsites, parking and pullouts, trailheads, and informal access paths to fishing spots are likely introduction points for invasive plants. The underlying idea is straightforward: seeds and plant fragments are commonly transported by vehicles (including OHVs), on tires and undercarriages, and also on camping gear, boots, and equipment used off-road, so the areas most used by visitors are often the first places where invasive species show up.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency generally expects some level of collaboration or substantial involvement during the project rather than a hands-off grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, and it is tied to CFDA 15.230, Invasive and Noxious Plant Management. The opportunity anticipated one award, with total estimated funding of $15,000 and an award floor of $15,000, which implies a single fixed-size award at that amount. No cost sharing or matching was required, reducing barriers for applicants who may not have non-federal funds available.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, effectively open to any type of entity (with the caveat that applicants should still confirm any clarifications that might have been provided in the full text of the announcement on Grants.gov). Key dates provided show the opportunity was posted July 30, 2009, with an application closing date of August 21, 2009, and an archive date of September 30, 2009, indicating it was a time-limited solicitation.
In practical terms, the expected deliverable from a project like this would be baseline information about invasive plant occurrence and risk along the SRMA's roads, trails, campground, and fishing-access corridors. That kind of baseline helps land managers prioritize early detection and rapid response, decide where prevention measures (like cleaning stations, signage, or targeted monitoring) would have the most impact, and protect the ecological integrity of the recreation area and nearby fisheries habitat. The listing directs applicants to Grants.gov for the full announcement and provides a BLM contact (Sandra S. Smith, s2smith@blm.gov) for access issues or questions about the posting.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the name of this grant opportunity?
The opportunity is titled The Salmon Lake Special Recreation Management Area Trails Invasive Plant Study, Alaska.
Which agency is offering this funding?
This is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity under the U.S. Department of the Interior.
What is the main purpose of the project?
The central purpose is to survey and document non-native and invasive plant presence (or the areas most likely to be invaded) along transportation and recreation corridors within the Salmon Lake Kigluaik Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA), with emphasis on locations where visitors and vehicles concentrate and where seeds can be unintentionally introduced.
Where will the work take place?
The work is focused on the Salmon Lake Kigluaik Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA) in Alaska, which covers roughly 290,000 acres.
What specific areas are targeted for invasive plant surveying?
The announcement targets road corridors and OHV trail corridors, including about four miles of trail inside the SRMA, plus access routes and high-use areas associated with the Salmon Lake Campground.
Why are roads, trails, and high-use recreation areas a priority for invasive plant detection?
These areas are highlighted as likely introduction points because seeds and plant fragments can be transported by vehicles (including OHVs) on tires and undercarriages, and by people on boots, camping gear, and equipment used off-road. Places with frequent traffic are often where invasive species appear first.
What parts of the campground area are considered likely introduction points?
The announcement calls out campsites, parking areas and pullouts, trailheads, and informal access paths to fishing spots as areas where invasive plants are more likely to be introduced.
How big is the Salmon Lake Campground area referenced in the opportunity?
The Salmon Lake Campground is described as relatively small, at about eight acres, but it is strategically located near the outflow of Salmon Lake.
Why does the announcement emphasize fishing access corridors near Salmon Lake?
The Salmon Lake outflow feeds the Salmon River, which supports a well-known red salmon run and is important for both sport and subsistence fishing. Because of that setting, the opportunity highlights that fishing-access corridors are areas where visitor activity can unintentionally introduce invasive plants.
What type of funding instrument is being used?
The opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects some level of collaboration or substantial involvement during the project rather than a fully hands-off grant.
What is the activity category for this opportunity?
The activity category is listed as Natural Resources.
What CFDA program is associated with this grant?
This opportunity is tied to CFDA 15.230, titled Invasive and Noxious Plant Management.
How much funding is available?
The total estimated funding is $15,000.
How many awards are expected?
The opportunity anticipated one award.
Is there an award minimum (floor) and maximum (ceiling)?
The award floor is listed as $15,000, and total estimated funding is also $15,000, which implies a single fixed-size award at that amount.

Who is the contact person for questions or access issues related to the posting?
The opportunity provides a BLM contact: Sandra S. Smith at s2smith@blm.gov.
What kind of results or deliverables are expected from a project like this?
Based on the description, an expected outcome is baseline information on invasive plant occurrence and risk along the SRMA's roads, trails, campground, and fishing-access corridors, supporting land management decisions about early detection, prevention, and prioritization.
How might BLM use the baseline information generated by this study?
The baseline can help land managers prioritize early detection and rapid response, decide where prevention measures such as cleaning stations, signage, or targeted monitoring would be most effective, and support protection of the recreation area and nearby fisheries habitat.
