United States Bureau of Land Management

The United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is a federal agency within the Department of the Interior responsible for managing public lands across the country. This includes overseeing around 247 million acres of land, which includes forests, deserts, mountains, and river systems. The BLM’s mission is to balance various uses of these lands, such as recreation, mining, grazing, and conservation, while also protecting natural resources and wildlife. Through careful stewardship, the BLM aims to ensure that these lands remain healthy and accessible for future generations.
