Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00174
The BLM-WY, Little Powder Watershed Enhancement and Restoration opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00174) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management grant offered through the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expects to work closely with the award recipient during project planning and implementation rather than simply issuing funds with minimal involvement. The focus of the program is natural resources work in and around the Little Powder watershed area within Campbell County, Wyoming, with an emphasis on practical, on-the-ground restoration and enhancement actions.
The core purpose is to build cooperative partnerships that improve the viability of fish, wildlife, and other living (biotic) resources in the project area. In practice, that goal is tied to improving the condition and long-term trend of local plant communities, especially those that play a key role in holding soil in place and protecting water resources. Projects supported under this opportunity are aimed at maintaining and improving vegetation and habitat conditions so the landscape can better conserve soil and water, sustain forage resources, and support wildlife habitat. The scope also explicitly includes habitat for special status species, which typically refers to species that are sensitive, declining, or otherwise of heightened management concern.
Beyond strictly ecological outcomes, the opportunity recognizes a wide set of public benefits that can come from healthier watersheds and plant communities. The BLM highlights recreation, scenic values, and ecological and scientific benefits, and it notes that these benefits matter for both consumptive uses (such as uses that remove or harvest resources) and nonconsumptive uses (such as wildlife viewing, hiking, or research). In other words, the program is framed around watershed and habitat improvement that supports multiple uses of public lands while strengthening overall ecosystem function.
Eligible applicants are broad and include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). This eligibility mix signals that the BLM is looking for local and regional partners who can coordinate, implement field work, and maintain strong working relationships across landownerships and stakeholder groups.
In terms of funding scale, the award ceiling is $150,000, and the BLM anticipated making two awards under this announcement. The opportunity was created on June 16, 2017, with an original application closing date of August 15, 2017. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.231, and the funding activity category is Natural Resources, consistent with the restoration and watershed improvement emphasis.
Overall, this funding opportunity is geared toward collaborative restoration in Campbell County that measurably improves watershed health and habitat conditions, with the BLM positioned as an active partner in implementing projects that protect soils and water, strengthen plant community resilience, and enhance habitat values for wildlife, including species with special management status, while also supporting recreation and other public-land uses.Apply for L17AS00174
