Opportunity Information: Apply for L18AS00093

The BLM WY Master Integrated Invasive Plant and Noxious Weed Management Program (Funding Opportunity Number L18AS00093) is a Bureau of Land Management, Wyoming-focused grant opportunity designed to improve how invasive plants and state-listed noxious weeds are managed across large, connected landscapes. Rather than treating infestations one project area at a time, the program emphasizes building cooperative relationships among partners so that management is coordinated across jurisdictional boundaries. The central idea is to align priorities, set shared goals, and combine funding, staff time, equipment, and expertise to make weed prevention and control efforts more effective statewide.

This opportunity was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, and falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.230). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to be substantively involved with the selected recipients during project implementation. In practical terms, applicants should anticipate collaboration with BLM staff on planning, coordination, and execution, consistent with the cooperative nature of the award.

Funding was offered as a discretionary program, with an award ceiling of $105,000 per award and an anticipated total of four awards. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was broadly open to a wide range of applicants (such as local governments, tribes, nonprofits, academic institutions, and potentially other entities), subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been provided in the full announcement. The notice was created on August 9, 2018, with an original application closing date of September 10, 2018.

At its core, the program is about landscape-scale integrated weed management in Wyoming: coordinating prevention, early detection, rapid response, treatment, and follow-up monitoring across multiple partners and land ownerships. By encouraging shared planning and pooled resources, the program aims to reduce duplication, address reinvasion risk, and improve long-term outcomes for rangelands, wildlife habitat, watersheds, recreation areas, and other public land values that are threatened by invasive and noxious plant spread.
