Opportunity Information: Apply for W9127N1920013
The Natural Resource Management (NRM) Education and Training of Fern Ridge Lake, Eugene, OR Area yOUTH opportunity is a discretionary federal funding program from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District. The intent is to fund up to two cooperative agreements with organizations that can carry out hands-on land stewardship and ecological restoration work on USACE-managed lands in the Willamette Valley, with most activities centered at Fern Ridge Lake near Eugene, Oregon. The program is designed to meet two goals at the same time: helping USACE fulfill its environmental stewardship responsibilities and creating meaningful education, training, and workforce-style experience for youth from nearby communities.
The work described in the notice is strongly focused on native prairie and wildlife habitat restoration. That typically includes tasks like invasive species control, planting and maintaining native vegetation, supporting habitat improvement actions, and other practical field activities that contribute to restoring and managing prairie landscapes. In addition to field restoration, the scope also includes nursery and greenhouse maintenance, which suggests an emphasis on growing and caring for native plants used in restoration projects. A key element is that youth participants are not just labor support; they are expected to gain experience with project planning, project development, and on-the-ground implementation, reinforcing the educational and training purpose of the cooperative agreement.
Only certain types of organizations are eligible. Applicants must be qualified youth service organizations or conservation corps organizations that serve youth in local communities near Fern Ridge Lake. The grant emphasizes that recipients should already have experience delivering land stewardship and restoration work using small crews of youth who are supervised by experienced crew leaders. The supervision requirement is important because the program expects ecological concepts and restoration practices to be taught accurately and consistently to participants, meaning the crews should be led by people with enough technical and practical background to connect day-to-day tasks to broader environmental goals.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is issued by the Department of Defense through USACE Portland District, and it uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates substantial federal involvement compared to a standard grant, often meaning USACE may collaborate with the recipient on planning, technical direction, scheduling, or coordination tied to managing federal lands and meeting stewardship standards. The authority cited for making these awards is 33 U.S.C. 2339, which is commonly used by USACE for partnerships that support natural resources management and related public benefit activities.
In terms of key numbers and timeline, the opportunity number is W9127N1920013 and it is associated with CFDA 12.010 under the Natural Resources activity category. USACE anticipated making up to two awards, with an award ceiling listed at $29,000. The posting indicates it was created on August 23, 2019, with an original closing date of September 23, 2019. Overall, the opportunity is structured for organizations that can combine conservation corps-style youth programming with real habitat restoration outcomes on federally managed lands around Fern Ridge Lake.Apply for W9127N1920013
