About this opportunity
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking applicants for its FY25 Forest and Woodlands Resource Management program, which will fund cooperative agreements for projects that promote forest and woodland health, sustainable management, fire resiliency, biomass utilization, and habitat conservation on public lands. Eligible activities include tree planting, thinning, salvage treatments, vegetation control, fuels reduction, restoration, project planning, and monitoring. Applicants may include state/local governments, tribal organizations, higher education institutions, and non-profit organizations. The opportunity emphasizes priorities like science-based restoration, sustainable harvests, and cross-boundary management through partnerships. Applications are due by February 3, 2025, with an anticipated project start date of August 1, 2025 and end date of July 31, 2029.
The program will award one cooperative agreement ranging from $100,000-$120,000. Recent awards under the broader Forest and Woodlands Resource Management program have ranged from $20,000 to over $7 million, with most falling between $100,000 and $1 million. Projects are typically implemented on BLM-managed lands in western states like Colorado, California, Oregon, and Montana.
