The Bureau of Land Management in Colorado aims to tackle the widespread issue of noxious and invasive plants covering more than 79 million acres of public lands. By promoting ecosystem health and preventing permanent damage to native plant communities, BLM Colorado invites partners to join in weed prevention, detection, and control efforts. The grant supports initiatives to combat the rapid expansion of these detrimental plants, which threaten water resources, grazing areas, and overall land use. This opportunity emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts to safeguard the shared values and activities on public lands. Application deadline is Jul 16, 2019.

| Description: | Under its multiple-use and sustained yield mandates, BLM Colorado manages public rangelands for various uses and values, including livestock grazing, recreational opportunities, healthy watersheds, and wildlife habitat. These lands preserve the open spaces that continue to shape the character of the West. Of the 245 million acres of public lands that BLM manages, more than 79 million acres are infested with noxious and invasive weeds. One of the BLM’s highest priorities is to promote ecosystem health, and one of the greatest obstacles to achieving this goal is the rapid expansion of weeds across public lands and multiple jurisdictions. These invasive plants can dominate and often cause permanent damage to native plant communities, tax water resources, and restrict traditional land uses, including grazing and agricultural purposes. If not eradicated or controlled, noxious weeds will continue to jeopardize the health of the public lands and will constrain the myriad of activities that occur on public lands.BLM’s Invasive and Noxious Plant Management Program works to prevent, detect, inventory, control and monitor weed populations on public lands. Furthermore, BLM Colorado works with partners as often as possible in providing weed education materials for distribution to the public. Both BLM Colorado and the public are affected by invasive vegetation.For more information on how to apply, please visit https://www.grants.gov and download the application, instructions and templates. |
