federal land rights
Federal land rights refer to the authority the U.S. government holds over certain land areas, which it owns, manages, or regulates. These lands include national parks, forests, and public domains, and the government controls their use, preservation, and access to serve various public interests. While private citizens can use federal lands under specific rules, they do not own these lands. The government’s rights include setting rules for recreation, resource extraction, and conservation, balancing public benefit with environmental protection and legal obligations.
