Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00223
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming Invasive and Noxious Plant Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00223) is a discretionary federal funding program run by the U.S. Department of the Interior through BLM. It is designed to support work that prevents, controls, or manages invasive and noxious plants on lands connected to BLM Wyoming management responsibilities. The funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects to be substantially involved in the project during performance (for example, coordinating priorities, providing technical direction, or aligning methods with agency standards), rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal agency interaction. The activity category is Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing 15.230.
A key feature of this opportunity is who can and cannot apply. Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible. Eligible applicant types include state, county, city/township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; tribal organizations (including those not federally recognized as governments); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education when applying under the nonprofit categories). In practical terms, this makes the program accessible to a wide range of public entities, tribes, universities, and nonprofit partners that can implement invasive plant management work in coordination with BLM.
The notice also draws a firm boundary around youth crews, interns, and the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. This NOFO does not support applicants that want to hire interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act authority. The reason given is legislative: the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is identified as the only authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that specific framework, and that authority is handled through a separate funding vehicle. As a result, Youth Conservation Corps or similar eligible youth-serving conservation organizations are directed to pursue projects under a different announcement: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands, rather than trying to structure youth internship or crew-based proposals under this invasive plant management notice. In other words, this program is focused on invasive/noxious plant outcomes, not on creating youth internship placements through Public Lands Corps mechanisms.
From a funding standpoint, the award ceiling is listed as $500,000. The listing does not clearly state the total number of expected awards in the provided source text (it appears blank), so applicants would typically need to consult the full NOFO package for details such as total funds available, typical award sizes, anticipated project periods, cost share expectations (if any), and evaluation criteria. The original closing date for applications was May 2, 2022, and the opportunity was created on March 3, 2022, which indicates this is a specific cycle from 2022 rather than an always-open program.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a BLM Wyoming partnership mechanism for on-the-ground invasive and noxious plant management work, aimed at qualified public, tribal, educational, and nonprofit entities, and explicitly not intended for individual applicants, commercial/for-profit applicants, or projects centered on hiring interns or youth crews under the Public Lands Corps Act. Applicants planning invasive plant projects that involve youth crews would be expected to re-route that concept to the BLM youth conservation NOFO referenced in the description, while keeping this notice for projects that can be implemented through eligible organizations without relying on Public Lands Corps internship/crew hiring authorities.Apply for L22AS00223

Who is not eligible to apply?
Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible for this opportunity.
Can an individual apply if they partner with an eligible organization?
The information provided only states that individuals are ineligible to apply. It does not explain whether an individual can participate as staff, a contractor, or a collaborator under an eligible applicant. For that level of detail, applicants would typically consult the full NOFO package.
Can a for-profit organization participate in any way?

Are youth crews, interns, or Public Lands Corps projects allowed under this NOFO?
No. This notice does not support applicants that want to hire interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 authority.
Why does this opportunity exclude Public Lands Corps Act intern or crew hiring?
The notice explains that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is identified as the only authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that specific framework, and that authority is handled through a separate funding vehicle.
If a project idea relies on youth crews or internships, where should it be submitted instead?
Youth Conservation Corps or similar youth-serving conservation organizations are directed to pursue those concepts under a different announcement: NOFO 15.243, titled "BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands," rather than under this invasive plant management notice.
Does this mean youth-serving conservation organizations cannot apply at all?

Projects designed around creating youth internship placements or youth crew hiring through Public Lands Corps Act mechanisms are meant for the separate youth conservation announcement (NOFO 15.243).
