Pollinator Partnership

Funding Opportunity Number: L23AS00179FUNDING Opportunity Goals Text: Pollinators and the Ecosystem Services They Provide Are Vital to the Resilience and Productivity of BLM Lands, Supporting Ecosystem Conservation, Recreation, and Other Resource Sustainability and Usage. Pollinators Have Diverse and Unique Relationships With Both Common and Rare Plants, Supporting Their Reproduction, and With Wildlife and Game Species of Interest, as Direct Food Sources or as Cornerstones of Habitat. Secondary Ecosystem Services Provided by Pollinators Support Local and Global Environmental Health, Including Building Biological and Genetic Capital, Carbon Sequestration, and Nutrient Cycling. BLM Lands With Healthy Populations of Pollinators Play a Significant Role in Provisioning Ecosystem Services, Both Locally and Globally. Ensuring the Future Resilience of These Ecological Services Requires That Pollinators Are Supported by Institutional and Stakeholder Capacity and Capability. the Technical Approach Clearly Identifies 5 Actions to Increase the Availability of Pollinator-related Technical Resources, Identify Management Needs for Pollinators, and Assist in the Proactive Conservation and Restoration of Pollinator Habitats on BLM Lands. the Actions Include Additional Review and Analysis of Pollinator Apsi Data, Development of 2-PAGE Pollinator Plant Reference Guides, Development of Native Seed Mix Guidance, Development and Delivery of Pollinator Stewardship Certification Workshops to BLM Stakeholders, and Collaboration With the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (nappc).
