Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00222
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming Plant Conservation and Restoration Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00222) is a discretionary federal grant program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through BLM. It is designed to support plant-focused natural resource work in Wyoming, specifically activities tied to plant conservation and ecological restoration management on or related to BLM-managed public lands. Awards are made as cooperative agreements, which typically means BLM expects substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination on planning, methods, priorities, data standards, access, or on-the-ground implementation).
This opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 15.245. The published award ceiling is $400,000 per award. The notice also indicates the opportunity was created on March 3, 2022, with an original closing date of May 2, 2022. The number of expected awards is not specified in the provided source data, which usually means selection and quantity may depend on available funding, proposal quality, and alignment with BLM priorities in the state.
Eligibility is limited to public and nonprofit sectors and certain educational and tribal entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education for those nonprofit categories). Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply, so proposals must come from an eligible organization type.
A key restriction in the notice is that this program does not support entities hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice explains that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that specific framework, and that projects intended for eligible Youth Conservation Corps or similar youth/intern crew hiring concepts must be pursued under a different funding opportunity: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, applicants should not build proposals around internship hiring or youth crew staffing under Public Lands Corps authority for this particular NOFO, and should instead structure the project around the eligible applicant organization delivering plant conservation and restoration outcomes without relying on that intern/crew mechanism.
Overall, this NOFO is best read as a Wyoming-focused BLM partnership vehicle for organizations that can plan and carry out plant conservation and restoration management work in coordination with the agency, within the boundaries of the cooperative agreement model and the stated eligibility and staffing limitations.Apply for L22AS00222

No. A key restriction is that this program does not support entities hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993.
Why does the notice restrict intern or crew hiring under the Public Lands Corps Act for this NOFO?
The notice explains that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that specific framework. Because of that, proposals that depend on that hiring mechanism are not supported under this particular funding opportunity.
If our project concept relies on youth or intern crews, what should we do instead?
The notice points applicants to a different funding opportunity for those concepts: NOFO 15.243, titled "BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands." Projects intended for eligible Youth Conservation Corps or similar youth/intern crew hiring concepts should be pursued under that other NOFO rather than L22AS00222.
Does the restriction mean youth-related work is completely disallowed?
The restriction described is specific to hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 for this NOFO. The provided information does not state broader restrictions beyond that specific hiring framework, but it does clearly instruct that proposals should not be built around that intern/crew mechanism for this opportunity.
What is the best overall way to think about this funding opportunity?
It is best understood as a Wyoming-focused BLM partnership vehicle for eligible organizations that can plan and carry out plant conservation and restoration management work in coordination with BLM, using the cooperative agreement model and respecting the eligibility and staffing limitations described in the notice.
