Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00189
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Montana/Dakotas Forest and Woodlands Resource Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00189) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through BLM. The program is focused on natural resource work tied to forest and woodland resource management in BLM-managed lands within the Montana/Dakotas area, and awards are made using a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally means BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project during execution, such as coordination on planning, technical direction, or shared implementation responsibilities, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced through Assistance Listings) number 15.233, which aligns it with BLM assistance programs in the natural resources space. While the title signals a focus on forests and woodlands, the listing does not provide a detailed project menu in the text you supplied; in practice, opportunities like this commonly support activities such as habitat and watershed protection related to woodland systems, fuels and vegetation treatments, forest health and restoration work, invasive species management, monitoring and inventories, and other stewardship actions that maintain or improve ecological conditions on public lands. The award ceiling is listed as $75,000, indicating an upper limit per award under this specific announcement. The notice lists expected awards but does not provide a number in the source data shown, so applicants would typically look to the full NOFO package for any indication of anticipated total funding or how many projects BLM expects to support.
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit sectors, but it is not open to everyone. Eligible applicants include state, county, and municipal governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (so long as they are not institutions of higher education in the nonprofit category as listed). The announcement is explicit that individuals and for-profit organizations are ineligible to apply for awards under this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO). That restriction is a central gatekeeping point: even if a for-profit has relevant expertise (for example, forestry contractors or consulting firms), they cannot be the applicant under this NOFO, though in many federal projects they might still participate as a subcontractor or partner to an eligible lead applicant if allowed by the terms of the agreement.
A key limitation in the description is about youth hiring and the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. This NOFO does not support entities hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act authority. The text explains that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that specific framework, and that projects intended to use eligible Youth Conservation Corps mechanisms must instead be pursued under a different opportunity: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, this means organizations should not propose PLC-style internship or youth crew hiring under this forest and woodland resource management notice; if the core of the project is youth corps placements or PLC hiring, BLM is directing applicants to the youth-focused NOFO instead.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was created on 2022-02-03 and had an original closing date of 2022-04-04. The funding instrument type is listed as a cooperative agreement, and the activity category is Natural Resources. Anyone preparing an application would generally need to align proposed work with BLM’s forest and woodland resource priorities for the Montana/Dakotas area, demonstrate the capacity to deliver on-the-ground outcomes or resource management products, and be ready for active coordination with BLM staff during the project because of the cooperative agreement structure. For applicants considering workforce components, the NOFO’s restriction on PLC intern/crew hiring is especially important for compliance and for choosing the correct BLM funding pathway.Apply for L22AS00189
