Opportunity Summary:

The Wood River Valley Trails and Outreach and Coordination opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00127) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The core purpose of the project is practical, on-the-ground public land support: monitoring trail conditions, coordinating among users and partners, and disseminating timely information about both trail status and user ethics. In plain terms, this funding is aimed at keeping trail users informed, improving how trail information is shared across the community, and encouraging responsible recreation behavior through outreach. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect BLM to remain actively involved in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back; cooperative agreements are typically used when the agency anticipates substantial involvement such as collaboration on priorities, messaging, reporting, or coordination.

This opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total program funding amount of $75,000. The listing includes an award ceiling of $9,373 and an award floor of $0, which suggests that while the overall opportunity references a larger estimated total funding level, individual award amounts may have been capped at a lower level or the ceiling may reflect a particular budget segment or constraint in the published notice. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support to be eligible, although applicants sometimes still propose partner contributions to strengthen competitiveness depending on the announcement details.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of entity as long as the applicant met any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. The program is associated with CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, which aligns with the focus on recreation stewardship, trail management support, and public education. The notice was posted and created on May 22, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 22, 2015, and it was archived on August 22, 2015. Applicants were directed to download the full set of instructions and the application package through the "Application Package" portion of the announcement.

For questions or technical issues accessing the announcement, the point of contact listed was Christine Shaver, Grants Management Specialist at BLM, reachable by phone at (208) 373-3817 or by email at cshaver@blm.gov.
