Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00129
The BLM-WY Outdoor Recreation and Wilderness Program (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00129) is a Bureau of Land Management, Wyoming-focused discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior under CFDA 15.225. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expects to remain actively involved in the work rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The overall aim is to strengthen cooperative partnerships that help the BLM deliver outdoor recreation and wilderness-related services on public lands, with a strong emphasis on public outreach, public awareness, and practical, on-the-ground resource investigation and protection.
At its core, the opportunity is meant to address a documented shortage of recreation and wilderness data needed for day-to-day management and public service. The program supports project-level activities that generate field-based information and operational support the BLM can use to better plan, manage, and communicate about public land resources. The description highlights several priority needs: ongoing inventory work for recreation and wilderness resources, collecting and organizing visitor use data, providing GIS support, and improving public outreach. In other words, the funding is intended to build the information backbone (field monitoring, inventories, and mapping) that helps the agency manage recreation opportunities and wilderness characteristics while responding to public demand and use patterns.
The scale of the work described is substantial. The opportunity references on-the-ground monitoring and investigations covering more than 189,000 acres of recreation resources and 577,504 acres of Wilderness Study Areas, plus an estimated 7 million acres of wilderness characteristic inventory work. That footprint signals that the BLM is looking for a capable partner organization to help conduct field surveys, compile and manage data, and translate results into usable products for BLM decision-making and public-facing information. The emphasis on technical support suggests deliverables could include GIS datasets and mapping products, standardized inventory documentation, visitor use summaries, and outreach materials that improve public understanding of recreation and wilderness resources.
Eligibility is broad and includes state, county, and local governments; public and state-controlled colleges and universities; federally recognized tribal governments; and qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $128,000. Key dates provided in the original notice indicate it was posted May 26, 2017, with an original closing date of July 27, 2017.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as targeted operational support for BLM Wyoming’s recreation and wilderness stewardship: building partnerships that can extend capacity for field monitoring and inventories, improving visitor use and GIS data, and expanding outreach so the public has better information and the BLM has better management-ready data across large landscapes.Apply for L17AS00129
