Opportunity Summary:
The San Joaquin River Gorge Hands on the Land Program Partnership (Funding Opportunity Number CA NOI 08 0013) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support an education-focused, follow-on project in California. The core purpose is to expand an existing partnership so it reaches additional grade levels and adds a student summer science program. The summer component is designed to blend hands-on science learning with practical on-the-ground stewardship work, specifically trail maintenance and habitat enhancement activities at the San Joaquin River Gorge area.
A central feature of the project is the development and delivery of site-specific, interactive natural and heritage resource education for K-12 students. The San Joaquin County Office of Education and/or local school district partners (noted as SUSD in the announcement) would assist BLM by helping create and present educational programs and materials that directly connect classroom learning to real public lands. All programming is expected to align with California State Educational Standards, ensuring it can be integrated into school curricula rather than functioning as a standalone field trip experience.
The opportunity places strong emphasis on cultural relevance and accurate interpretation of local Native American history and living cultures. Program design is expected to be completed collaboratively with BLM, partner technical experts, and local tribes, using the school partner's Native American Education program expertise. The intent is to build educational content that is respectful, factually sound, and meaningful to the student population, while also meeting shared goals among BLM, tribal partners, and the education provider.
Beyond science and heritage education, the project is also meant to shape long-term public land ethics among young people. The programs and materials must emphasize Tread Lightly and Leave No Trace principles and practices, with the broader goal of developing a new generation of responsible outdoor recreationists and land users. In practical terms, that means students are not only learning about ecosystems and cultural resources, but also learning how to minimize impacts, respect sensitive sites, and participate in stewardship behaviors that support sustainable recreation and conservation.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at $374,146 total, with an award ceiling of $374,146 and an award floor of $30,000, and BLM anticipated making one award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on August 20, 2008, with an application closing date of August 28, 2008, and it was archived on September 30, 2008. Eligible applicants were county governments. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. For administrative questions, the grant contact listed was Traci Thaler, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM (916-978-4529, tthaler@blm.gov).
