Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR LC 20 N016
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Notice of Intent to Award to Conservation Legacy" (Funding Opportunity Number: BOR LC 20 N016). The agency intends to make a single cooperative agreement award, with an expected total funding amount up to an award ceiling of $53,000. The opportunity falls under the Environment funding activity category and is listed under CFDA number 15.546. It was created on May 27, 2020, with an original closing date of June 10, 2020, and it anticipates making one award.
This notice focuses on a set of natural resource and stewardship projects to be carried out through a cooperative agreement structure, which generally indicates that the Bureau of Reclamation expects to remain actively involved in the project work rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The intended recipient is Conservation Legacy, and eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), aligning with the type of organization Conservation Legacy is known to be.
The scope of work described in the notice includes four main components. First, the project will involve surveying and assessing the roughly 23,043-acre "Green-Up Area" and producing a final report documenting findings. While the notice does not spell out methods, a survey and assessment of that scale typically involves field observations, documentation of site conditions, identification of resource concerns, and compilation of results into a formal deliverable that can guide future management decisions.
Second, the agreement includes maintaining and improving the integrity of a fence line at the TMC. Fence work in conservation and land management settings often supports protection of sensitive areas, helps manage livestock or wildlife access, reduces resource damage, and maintains clear boundaries for operational or ecological purposes. The emphasis on "integrity" suggests routine maintenance and targeted improvements to ensure the fence functions as intended over time.
Third, the opportunity is designed to provide job training and education for prospective Corps members. This points to a workforce development element where participants gain practical experience through hands-on conservation work, often paired with training in safety, tool use, field skills, and professional development. In the context of a cooperative agreement with a conservation corps-oriented nonprofit, this component typically aims to build pathways into natural resource careers by giving participants structured, supervised field experience.
Fourth, the project will provide natural resource learning opportunities. This educational piece complements the job training goal by expanding participants' understanding of environmental stewardship, public lands management, and resource conservation principles. Depending on implementation, these learning opportunities can include field-based instruction, mentorship, workshops, and exposure to conservation practices tied directly to the on-the-ground tasks in the Green-Up Area and at the TMC fence line.
Overall, this notice describes a relatively small, targeted federal investment intended to produce both tangible land management outcomes (a large-area assessment and improved fence conditions) and human-capital outcomes (training, education, and natural resource learning experiences). The combination of deliverables and workforce development goals reflects a dual purpose: improving management capacity and site conditions while also developing a pipeline of trained individuals with experience in conservation and natural resource work.Apply for BOR LC 20 N016
