The Pinedale Anticline Project Office (PAPO) is soliciting project applications for potential 2019 funding. Project application information and materials can be found on the JIO/PAPO website at https://www.wy.blm.gov/jio-papo/whatsgoingon.htm.
Project applicants are required to use the 2019 PAPO application, and may refer to the 2019 Project Ranking Score Sheet for information on PAPO strategic plan goals and priorities. Submitted projects should relate to PAPO’s strategic plan goals and priorities, as discussed in project application materials on the website. The PAPO Board of Directors will make project funding decisions at the May 2019 Board meeting in Pinedale. This meeting will be advertised in April 2019.
These PAPO projects support the administration’s priority of shared conservation and stewardship by improving wildlife habitat, increasing livestock forage and distribution and strengthening America’s energy independence. The PAPO staff consists of specialists from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, the Wyoming Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Land Management. Recent project applications have benefited mule deer, greater sage-grouse, aquatic species and air quality.
The deadline for all 2019 PAPO project applications is Feb. 1, 2019 by 4:30 p.m. MDT (Mountain Daylight Time), and must be submitted electronically. For more information, or if you are unable to submit your application electronically, please contact Kellie Roadifer, JIO/PAPO Coordinator, by email: kroadife@blm.gov or by phone at (307) 367-5309.
