GNA invasive and noxious plant and insect management in natrona county, WY

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), through its Good Neighbor Authority (GNA) program (CFDA 15.015), awarded a $454,868 cooperative agreement to Natrona County Weed and Pest Control District on September 30, 2025, with a completion date of July 19, 2030. This five-year funding supports invasive and noxious plant and insect management activities in Natrona County, Wyoming. Under this cooperative agreement, the district will implement landscape-level ecosystem restoration services designed to expand BLM's internal capacity for natural resource management across federal and non-federal lands.

The primary products and services delivered through this award include treatment of invasive species and noxious weeds across designated acreages, GPS mapping and monitoring of restoration activities, and community benefit initiatives focused on ecosystem health and landscape resilience. As is standard under the GNA program, funding is provided on a year-by-year basis contingent upon annual performance evaluation and merit review by the BLM State Director, with no commitment to fund the project beyond the first year.
