The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is a U.S. government agency responsible for overseeing public lands, which include forests, grasslands, and deserts. Its primary duties involve managing these lands for various uses such as conservation, recreation, grazing, and mineral development. The BLM ensures responsible resource use while protecting natural and cultural features. It balances economic interests with environmental sustainability, making sure public lands are preserved for future generations. The agency also administers policies related to land access, permits, and resource extraction on millions of acres across the country.
