The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) awarded a $255,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Carlsbad Soil & Water Conservation District to conduct cultural resource surveys throughout the Pecos District in New Mexico. The award, which runs from September 2023 to July 2028, is funded through the BLM's Rangeland Resource Management program (CFDA 15.237). This work will protect and preserve cultural resources in the region prior to any land-disturbing activities. Carlsbad Soil & Water Conservation District, a U.S. local government entity, has received multiple BLM cooperative agreements totaling over $10 million to support invasive species control, rangeland restoration, and other conservation efforts on public lands. The District has also served as a sub-awardee on habitat improvement projects funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
