Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00034
The BLM CA Headwaters Forest Reserve Watershed Restoration opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00034) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, focused on natural resources work in Californias Headwaters Forest Reserve. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The program is tied to CFDA 15.231 and was originally posted on February 23, 2017, with an original application deadline of April 24, 2017.
The core purpose of the project is to continue ongoing watershed restoration actions that are already guided by the 2004 Headwaters Forest Reserve Resource Management Plan. That plan lays out where restoration work should be prioritized, how potential erosion sites should be treated, and what operational standards should be used when implementing those treatments. A key component of the work involves addressing the legacy impacts of roads on watershed health by either removing roads or converting certain road corridors into designated public access trails. The description notes meaningful progress already completed, with about thirty miles of road removed and about four miles converted into public access trails, and the funded project would build on that foundation.
From an outcomes standpoint, the restoration actions are intended to improve watershed function and reduce erosion and sediment delivery into streams, which is particularly important for aquatic habitat quality. The opportunity explicitly highlights benefits to federally listed species, with a strong emphasis on federally listed anadromous fish. In practical terms, that emphasis generally points to projects that improve spawning and rearing habitat conditions by stabilizing slopes, improving drainage, reducing fine sediment inputs, and restoring more natural hydrologic patterns that can be disrupted by road networks.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a wide range of applicants, subject to any further details that might be provided in an additional eligibility clarification section in the full notice. The funding structure indicates an expected single award, with an award ceiling of $800,000. Overall, the opportunity is designed to fund a focused, plan-driven set of restoration and road-related improvements that support long-term watershed resilience while also balancing public access through careful conversion of select routes into trails.Apply for L17AS00034
