Supplemental Questions for Eugene District Title II Applications <br /> Note: These questions are not required. However, the answers you provide could better articulate the overall funding status <br /> of the projects and how the Title II funds fit into it. <br /> 1. Application Title <br /> Wetland Habitat Improvement on BLM O &C Lands in the West Eugene Wetlands <br /> 2. Applicant Name and Organization <br /> Trevor Taylor, Natural Area Restoration Team Supervisor, <br /> City of Eugene. <br /> 3. What other sources of funding have you applied for? What other funding have you secured? <br /> Several outside funding sources will be contributing to the project and all have been secured. <br /> NYC will be contributing 44.6% of the cost of youth crew services to repair fence, remove non - native <br /> species, and thin ash trees from the three sites. <br /> The City of Eugene will be contributing 66% in -kind staff time to oversee and supervise the project, <br /> administer the grant, hire and train the seed crew, coordinate with growers, manage grow -out contracts, <br /> coordinate purchase of seed, design seed mixes, coordinate with land owners who allow seed collection <br /> on their land, oversee seed cleaning, record - keeping, storage, and mixing, manage the plant materials <br /> inventory and database, oversee seed delivery from growers, and delivery of seed mixes to partners. <br /> The City of Eugene will also be contributing cash to support grow out contracts and seed purchases for <br /> the plant materials program. <br /> The BLM will be contributing staff time to supervise NYC crews and perform follow up monitoring. <br /> They will also be providing cash to support grow out contracts for the plant materials program. <br /> The Nature Conservancy will be contributing volunteers to assist with seed collection, cleaning and <br /> mixing. They will also be providing cash to support grow out contracts for the plant materials program. <br /> 4. What is the importance of this funding to your project, both directly and as match? How would your <br /> project be affected if you did not receive Title II funding? <br /> We would not be able to implement youth -corps funded fence repair, ash thinning or invasive species <br /> control this year on these 0 & C lands without this funding. This would forgo benefits of youth <br /> employment and training. It would also place North & South Taylor at risk of further degradation due <br /> to cattle encroachment and invasive species expansion. It would also contribute to the further decline of <br /> the endangered Bradshaw's lomatium which is directly inhibited by ash tree competition. <br /> 12 of 16 <br />
