This grant, offered by the BLM Eugene District, is for restoring and conserving critical wet and upland prairie habitats within the West Eugene Wetlands, Willamette Valley. Historically, 99% of these habitats have been lost, threatening numerous plant and animal species like the Fender’s blue butterfly and Bradshaw’s lomatium. The BLM manages protected areas within the West Eugene Wetlands and developed a 10-year Environmental Assessment Schedule in 2005 to guide restoration efforts. The primary purpose of this funding is to implement diverse projects, including those focused on BLM Special Status Species, native seed and plant initiatives, general habitat restoration, invasive plant removal, and vital education and outreach programs, to reverse habitat degradation and protect biodiversity.

| Description: | An estimated 99 percent of wet and upland prairies have been lost in the Willamette Valley from pre-settlement times. Consequently, many of the plant and animal species associated with these habitats have become threatened or endangered. Some of these rare habitats are protected and currently managed by the BLM. The BLM West Eugene Wetlands support populations of several US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) listed species, including the endangered Fender¿s blue butterfly, Bradshaw¿s lomatium, and Willamette daisy; and threatened Kincaid¿s lupine and Nelson¿s checkermallow. In 2005 the BLM developed a long term (10 year) land management implementation schedule for its parcels within the West Eugene Wetlands project area. This 10 year Environmental Assessment Schedule (EA) outlines targets for habitat conditions and provides guidance on the priority of work for maintenance, enhancement, and restoration projects.
The objective of this program is to implement a variety of projects, including but not limited to, work involving BLM Special Status Species projects, native seed and plant projects, habitat restoration projects, invasive plant projects, and education and outreach projects. |
