Hi Tina,
Thanks for sending these dates! I have them all on the Crew Calendar and will plan to have the crew help with as many
as possible. We do typically take our first West Slope trip the last week of July (25-29), but it's possible we could do that
trip a week earlier this year. We will just have to make sure the West Slope species we're planning to treat are ready for
us:)
Also, we had
2 grants
return
their awards to us
this year, so we
were able
to
spread
those funds
between 6 different
grants. Your
grant has
been
increased and now
totals $15,000.
I will send
an
official
notification
letter ASAP.
Thank you, and let me know if you have any questions!
Patty

Dear Tina:

State & Private Forestry Program

Thank you for submitting your grant proposal for the 2022 field season. Due to multiple 2022 awards
being returned, we are pleased to inform you that the Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) was
able to increase the funding for your project, "Northern Weld County Eradication of List B species" for
to an amount up to $15,000. Your grant will be a combination of Weed Fund and State Et Private
Forestry funding.
For this year's funding, there are several things to keep in mind when implementing your project:
• This notification letter does not constitute the start date of the grant. CDA will work with you
to develop a Statement of Work (SOW) with a summary budget that wilt be incorporated into
your grant agreement.
• All grant funds are available on a reimbursable basis only. The funding received must be
matched on a 1:1 basis, and for SPF funds, a 1:1 non-federal match is required. Matching
contributions may be incurred up to 90 days prior to your start date.
• Once you have received the approved Grant Agreement and attached Statement of Work, you
can begin incurring expenses that are reimbursable.
• You may be required to submit a W-9 to verify your tax ID number and current address.
• As your grant will contain SPF funds, you will need to inform your local Forest Service
Representative and share your progress through the grant process.
I will contact you soon to discuss the terms and requirements of your SOW, and we wilt have a Grant
Agreement issued as soon as possible after we finalize the SOW together. Please feel free to contact
me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Patty York, EDRR Specialist

Dear Tina:

State & Private Forestry Program
Via email
Thank you for submitting your grant proposal for the 2022 field season. This year we received over $1.1
million in funding requests, however only $798,000 was available from Weed Fund and State Ft Private
Forestry sources. This made the review committee's decisions very difficult due to the number of
competitive projects worthy of funding, and partial awards were more common than full awards.
We are pleased to inform you that the Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) has selected your
project, "Northern Weld County Eradication of List B species" for partial funding in 2022 for an amount
up to $11,050. Your grant will be a combination of Weed Fund and State ft Private Forestry funding.
The highly competitive nature of project funding led the review committee to look very carefully at all
aspects of each proposal. Reviewers felt that to improve your proposal's ranking in future grant
competitions, you might consider:
• Lessening the amount of cost -share provided to individuals (80% is very high), and showing how
you eventually taper landowners off cost -share funding.
• Providing metrics on landowner cost -share progress and noxious weed reductions over time.
• Providing maps that differentiate between species and/or show cost -share participants.
For this year's funding, there are several things to keep in mind when implementing your project:
• This notification letter does not constitute the start date of the -grant. CDA will work with you
to develop a Statement of Work (SOW) with a summary budget that will be incorporated into
your grant agreement.
• All grant funds are available on a reimbursable basis only. The funding received must be
matched on a 1:1 basis, and for SPF funds, a 1:1 non-federal match is required. Matching
contributions may be incurred up to 90 days prior to your start date.
• Once you have received the approved Grant Agreement and attached Statement of Work, you
can begin incurring expenses that are reimbursable.
• You may be required to submit a W-9 to verify your tax ID number and current address.
• As your grant will contain SPF funds, you will need to inform your local Forest Service
Representative and share your progress through the grant process.
