Description
This funding opportunity from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) supports cooperative agreements for managing invasive and noxious plant species across eligible BLM-managed public lands. The program aims to prevent, detect, inventory, control, and monitor weed populations, with a focus on protecting native plant communities, wildlife habitat, watershed function, and rural economies. Projects may include early detection and rapid response, emergency stabilization, education and outreach, citizen science, and development of biological control agents. The BLM is seeking collaborative, multi-jurisdictional projects that leverage partnerships and scientific approaches to address the challenges posed by invasive species.
