Public Land Management Act

The Public Land Management Act is a law that governs how public lands—areas owned by the government—are used and protected. It sets rules for managing natural resources, recreation, conservation, and development to ensure these lands remain healthy and accessible for current and future generations. The Act helps balance environmental protection with responsible use, allowing activities like hiking, grazing, and resource extraction while safeguarding ecosystems. Overall, it provides a framework to sustainably manage public lands for various purposes, promoting ecological health, recreation, and economic benefits.
