Opportunity Summary:
The San Joaquin River Gorge Hands on the Land Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CA NOI 08 0012) was offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on education. It was designed as a follow-on project that builds on an existing national partnership and expands it to the local level, with the goal of helping BLM develop and deliver site-specific, hands-on, interactive educational programs and related products for K-12 students. A central purpose of the project was to connect young audiences to natural and heritage resources in a way that is experiential and place-based, using the San Joaquin River Gorge area as a learning setting and context.
The project emphasized creating curriculum-aligned programming, meaning the educational materials and activities were expected to correlate with California State Educational Standards. Rather than being developed in isolation, the programs and products were to be created collaboratively with BLM staff and partner technical experts, ensuring both educational quality and accuracy in natural and cultural resource content. In addition to broad environmental and heritage education, the opportunity explicitly included education about the role of public lands in meeting the nation s energy needs, indicating that programming could also address land stewardship tradeoffs, energy development, and how public land management intersects with national energy priorities.
A strong stewardship component was built into the required deliverables. The programs and products were expected to promote responsible recreation ethics by emphasizing Tread Lightly and Leave No Trace principles and practices. The intent was not only to teach students about public lands, ecosystems, and heritage resources, but also to shape behavior and attitudes in a way that fosters a new generation of responsible outdoor recreationists and land users, reducing impacts on sensitive resources and encouraging long-term stewardship.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at a total of $250,000, with an award ceiling of $250,000 and an award floor of $25,000, and BLM anticipated making one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants were limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on August 19, 2008, and closed on August 28, 2008, with an archive date of September 30, 2008. It was listed under CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. For applicant questions or issues accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact was Traci Thaler, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 916-978-4529 or tthaler@blm.gov.
