Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00083
The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR/WA - Local Native Seed Development and Seed Increase" (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00083) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement focused on strengthening the local supply of native plant seed used for rehabilitation and restoration work in Oregon and Washington, with a specific emphasis on the BLM Lakeview District. It is grounded in the 2015-2020 National Seed Strategy for Rehabilitation and Restoration, which pushes federal land managers to work more closely with private sector partners to build a functional, reliable "seed industry" capable of supplying restoration-grade native seed. The core idea behind the strategy is captured in its vision, "The right seed in the right place at the right time," and its mission to ensure genetically appropriate seed is available to restore healthy, resilient plant communities and sustainable ecosystems.
In practical terms, this opportunity is trying to solve a local capacity gap. At the time of the announcement, native seed used for the Lakeview District was being produced mostly in Western Oregon or even outside the state. BLM is seeking to encourage and support applicants who can produce native seed closer to where it will actually be planted, ideally within the same ecoregion. The rationale is that producing seed under similar local climate and environmental conditions can improve how well that seed performs once it is deployed on rangelands, because the plant material is more likely to be adapted to the same types of temperature swings, precipitation patterns, soils, and growing seasons found in the target restoration areas.
The funding is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category (CFDA 15.231). The listing indicates eligibility is "unrestricted," meaning a wide range of applicant types may apply, which aligns with the goal of partnering with the private sector and local growers. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $20,000. Key administrative details include an original closing date of July 2, 2017, and a posting/creation date of May 3, 2017. Overall, the grant is aimed at boosting local native seed development and increasing seed production so BLM can access genetically appropriate, locally adapted plant materials for restoration projects in and around the Lakeview District, reducing reliance on distant seed sources and improving the odds of successful revegetation on rangelands.Apply for L17AS00083
