Opportunity Summary:
The "South Central Idaho Shrub Restoration for Landscape Resilency" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00155) was offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as a discretionary funding program supporting natural resource work. The core purpose of the opportunity was to fund shrub restoration projects in south central Idaho that improve landscape resiliency and help create or maintain resilient habitat conditions for wildlife species that rely on shrubland ecosystems at a broad, landscape scale. In practical terms, the funding was aimed at on-the-ground restoration efforts that rebuild or enhance shrub communities so that habitat is better able to withstand and recover from stressors such as disturbance, invasive species pressure, and changing environmental conditions, while supporting priority wildlife use across large areas rather than only small, isolated sites.
Awards were to be made through a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordinating implementation, providing technical support, aligning activities with agency priorities, or collaborating on monitoring and reporting. The opportunity anticipated up to three awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $1,500,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $100,000 and $300,000 per project, giving applicants room to propose mid-sized restoration actions that could demonstrate measurable habitat outcomes at meaningful scales. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which lowered the barrier to participation and allowed applicants to focus their budgets on restoration and monitoring rather than assembling non-federal match.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was broadly open to any type of applicant (for example, local or state governments, tribal entities, universities, nonprofits, and potentially private entities), subject to any additional conditions that might have been described in the full announcement. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing associated with the opportunity was 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), signaling that the work was expected to produce conservation benefits tied to fish and wildlife habitat and related ecosystem functions.
Key dates show this was a time-limited, archived opportunity from 2015. It was posted June 23, 2015, with an application deadline of August 14, 2015, and the opportunity was later archived on September 12, 2015. Applicants needing help accessing the complete announcement and application package were directed to contact the BLM grants management officer listed: Christine Shaver, (208) 373-3817, cshaver@blm.gov.
