Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00201
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Oregon/Washington Plant Conservation and Restoration Management opportunity is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the BLM. It is focused on natural resources work and is intended to support projects that conserve native plant resources and improve or restore plant communities on public lands managed by BLM in Oregon and Washington. The assistance listing tied to this opportunity is CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 15.245, and the award mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which usually means BLM expects substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordinating field priorities, providing technical guidance, helping with site access, or collaborating on monitoring and reporting).
Eligibility is limited to public and nonprofit entities and certain educational and tribal organizations. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories). Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible, so sole proprietors, private companies, and consultants applying as businesses cannot be direct applicants under this notice (though they could potentially participate as contractors or partners under an eligible applicant, depending on BLM and federal procurement/subaward rules).
A key restriction in the notice is about youth crews and interns. This specific NOFO does not support projects that involve an entity hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. BLM is pointing out that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the specific legislative authority used to "hire" interns under that framework, and that authority is not being used under this funding notice. As a result, youth conservation corps-style projects must be pursued through a different BLM funding opportunity: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, applicants should not propose using this funding stream to pay for or structure work around PLC interns/crews; if a project depends on youth corps staffing, it needs to be redirected to the youth-focused NOFO instead.
The funding opportunity number is L22AS00201. The original application closing date listed is April 6, 2022, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $75,000. The summary provided does not specify the total number of awards expected (it appears blank in the source data), so prospective applicants would typically plan around a competitive process where the award size is capped but the overall number of awards may vary based on available appropriations and BLM priorities.
Because it is framed as "Plant Conservation and Restoration Management," projects that tend to fit this kind of program (based on how BLM commonly structures these agreements) usually include activities such as conservation planning for sensitive native plant species, seed collection and native plant materials work, invasive species-related restoration tied to native plant recovery, habitat improvement, restoration site preparation and implementation, and monitoring to evaluate restoration success. Cooperative agreements often also support collaborative science-to-management efforts, such as surveys, mapping, or monitoring protocols that directly inform on-the-ground restoration decisions. The notice text provided does not list specific project types in detail, so applicants would generally align proposed work with BLM district/state office restoration priorities in Oregon and Washington and be prepared to coordinate closely with BLM staff during planning and implementation.
In short, this opportunity is a small-to-midsize (up to $75,000) BLM Oregon/Washington cooperative agreement program for eligible public, tribal, nonprofit, and educational entities to carry out native plant conservation and restoration management work on BLM-managed lands, with a clear prohibition on using the award to run Public Lands Corps intern or crew hiring models, which must instead be proposed under the separate BLM youth conservation NOFO.Apply for L22AS00201
