The Utah Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering this grant to support statewide studies on native and rare plant and animal species across BLM-administered lands in Utah. This grant is for the purpose of stimulating economic recovery, creating and preserving jobs—especially for recession-affected individuals—and advancing environmental protection through scientific investment. It aims to provide employment opportunities in natural resource management for local universities, non-profit organizations, and state agencies. Projects will involve inventory, monitoring, and analysis of wildfire impacts on native vegetation, all to gather critical information for effective species and habitat management while bolstering local employment.
