Bureau of Land Management (BLM)

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is a U.S. government agency within the Department of the Interior. It manages public lands, primarily in the western states, covering over 247 million acres. The BLM's mission includes balancing multiple uses of these lands, such as recreation, agriculture, grazing, and energy development, while ensuring environmental protection. The agency also oversees the management of natural resources like minerals and water. Its goal is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation's public lands for current and future generations, promoting responsible use and conservation.
