multiple-use land management

Multiple-use land management is a strategy that aims to balance various activities on public lands, such as recreation, agriculture, forestry, and conservation. The goal is to ensure that these areas can support diverse uses while protecting natural resources and ecosystems. By carefully planning and regulating land use, multiple-use management seeks to meet the needs of different stakeholders—like hikers, farmers, and wildlife—while promoting sustainability and minimizing environmental impact. This approach recognizes that land can serve multiple purposes and strives to harmonize them for the benefit of both people and the environment.
