About this opportunity

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking applications for the FY25 IIJA/IRA Bureau of Land Management Idaho (ID) Invasive and Noxious Plant Management cooperative agreement. This program aims to prevent, detect, inventory, control, and monitor invasive and noxious weed populations on public lands in Idaho. Eligible applicants include state and local governments, tribal governments, higher education institutions, and non-profit organizations. Proposals will be evaluated based on criteria such as the statement of need, technical approach, public benefit, and applicant qualifications/past performance. Applications are due by February 3, 2025, with no extensions allowed except in extenuating circumstances.

The program provides up to $250,000 per award, for a total estimated program funding of $500,000. Awards will be made as cooperative agreements, with BLM having substantial involvement in the projects. This program is authorized under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 and the Plant Protection Act of 2000, and is funded through the Invasive and Noxious Plant Management federal grant program (CFDA 15.230) administered by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management.

Synopsis

BLM Idaho (ID) 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.Affect adjacent private lands, both rural and urban, causing widespread economic losses to the agricultural industry as well as to other resources.
