Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00126
The BLM-WY, Saratoga-Encampment-Rawlins Restoration and Enhancement Projects opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00126) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to be actively involved with the selected partner during planning and implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funding activity focus falls under Natural Resources (CFDA 15.231), reflecting an emphasis on on-the-ground conservation, restoration, and habitat improvement work.
The purpose of the opportunity is to support a collaboration between the BLM and a partner organization to carry out river and habitat restoration projects across the Upper and Lower Platte Valley within the broader Platte River Watershed. The core goal is watershed-level protection and improvement of both terrestrial and aquatic habitats, with a central emphasis on preserving a functioning ecosystem on public lands within the Platte River Watershed. In practical terms, this kind of project scope commonly includes actions that improve river function and riparian conditions, enhance habitat complexity, reduce or reverse degradation, and strengthen ecological resilience across connected upland and streamside environments. The opportunity is framed around ecosystem function rather than isolated site fixes, signaling a preference for work that benefits habitat condition at a broader landscape or watershed scale.
Eligibility is relatively broad and includes state, county, and city/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 under that nonprofit category). This mix of eligible applicants indicates the BLM is open to partnering with governmental entities, academic institutions, tribes, and conservation-focused nonprofits that can demonstrate the capacity to plan and deliver restoration activities, coordinate stakeholders, and manage federal financial assistance requirements.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $178,282 and anticipates making one award. That combination suggests a single partner would be selected to implement a defined set of restoration and enhancement tasks within the project area, likely with a clear work plan and deliverables tied to habitat and watershed outcomes. The posting was created on May 25, 2017, with an original closing date of June 24, 2017, placing it within a short application window typical of some targeted, locally focused BLM restoration awards.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a focused, collaborative BLM effort to invest in river and habitat restoration in the Saratoga-Encampment-Rawlins area of Wyoming within the Platte River Watershed, aiming to protect and improve ecological conditions on public lands by addressing both aquatic and terrestrial habitat needs at a watershed scale.Apply for L17AS00126
