federal lands management

Federal lands management involves the stewardship of public lands owned by the U.S. government, overseen by agencies like the Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, and National Park Service. These agencies balance conservation, recreation, resource extraction, and habitat preservation, ensuring sustainable use. Management includes overseeing land use policies, protecting ecosystems, providing public access, and supporting local economies. It aims to maintain the land's health and resources for current and future generations while respecting diverse interests and environmental needs.
