The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is a federal agency within the Department of the Interior that manages public lands and resources across the United States. Established in 1946, its mission includes overseeing land use for activities like recreation, grazing, mining, and conservation. The BLM aims to balance various interests while protecting the environment and preserving cultural resources. It plays a crucial role in managing about 248 million acres of public land, promoting sustainable practices, and ensuring that these lands and their resources are available for future generations.
