About this opportunity
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking cooperative agreements for invasive and noxious plant management programs through a federal grant opportunity focused on preventing, detecting, controlling, and monitoring weed populations on public lands. Eligible applicants include state governments, tribal governments, county and city governments, public and private higher education institutions, and both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits. The primary objectives include protecting native plant communities, supporting wildlife habitats, maintaining watershed function, and mitigating economic losses caused by invasive species. Proposals will be evaluated with the highest importance placed on technical approach, with priority given to projects that prevent point source spread of invasive species, conduct targeted treatments, advance early detection and rapid response, enhance emergency stabilization, and support education and awareness efforts. The grant opportunity is open from June 23, 2025, to July 23, 2025, with electronic applications due by 5:00 p.m. ET on the closing date.
The total program funding is $3,000,000, with approximately 40 expected awards ranging from $5,000 to $500,000 per project. The anticipated project period spans 60 months, running from September 1, 2025, to August 30, 2030. Projects will be implemented across public lands, with a focus on western United States regions managed by the BLM, targeting various ecosystems including farms, ranches, parks, forests, and natural areas. The cooperative agreements aim to address the escalating challenges of invasive species spread through human activities, increased wildfire vulnerability, and the need for comprehensive integrated pest management strategies.
Synopsis
BLM Invasive and Noxious Plant Management Programs work to prevent, detect, inventory, control, and monitor weed populations on public lands.Invasive species cost the public millions of dollars in control and management each year and many invasive plants and noxious weeds are highly competitive and have the ability to permanently degrade our public lands.Noxious weeds and invasive species expansion are recognized as the single greatest threat to our native plant communities and the values they provide us.These native plant communities are essential for supporting wildlife habitat, watershed function, recreation opportunities, rural economies and working landscapes.Invasive plants and noxious weeds affect plant and animal communities on farms and ranches, and in parks, waters, forests, natural areas, and backyards in negative ways.Human activity such as trade, travel, and tourism have all increased substantially, escalating the speed and volume of species movement to unprecedented levels.Increased site vulnerability from wildfires that are more frequent and other disturbances is an ongoing challenge to maintaining the integrity of our native plant communities.Noxious weeds are particularly aggressive plants legally designated by states as being injurious to public health, the environment or the economy.Invasive species and noxious weeds adversely affect overall recreational opportunities on public land i.e., hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, watershed health and ecosystem function which result in economic losses in rural and urban communities.Invasive species and noxious weeds affect adjacent private lands, both rural and urban, causing widespread economic losses to the agricultural industry as well as to other resources.
