Bureau of Land Management
Government Administration
BLM manages one in every 10 acres of land in U.S. encompassing forests, mountains, rangelands, arctic tundra and deserts
About us
The BLM manages more land – 256 million surface acres – than any other Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The Bureau, with a budget of about $1 billion, also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM’s multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, and cultural resources on the public lands. In 2021, join us in celebrating our 75th anniversary! Learn more: https://www.blm.gov/about/history/75th-anniversary. #ReImaginePublicLands #PublicLands75

In this season of giving, we sincerely thank our thousands of volunteers who have given their time and hard work to care for public lands. In our latest podcast, meet Sue and Jim Johnston, a couple from Utah who have been making a difference on our trails in Kanab for more than 10 years. Their positive impact and attitudes towards maintaining public lands, as well as laying the groundwork for future preservation, makes them an admirable model for upcoming generations. Congratulations to this duo who received our Outstanding Volunteer Achievement Award for their continued dedication! Thank you! 👏💗 Learn More: https://ow.ly/kn5q50Uw2Qy.

Tomorrow we're celebrating the anniversary of the Endangered Species Act - a vital safety net for protecting fish, wildlife, and plants. The law has been instrumental in preventing the extinction of numerous imperiled species and safeguarding the environments in which they thrive. While we have made significant progress, many species face challenges to recovery, including habitat loss and climate change. Join as we look ahead with a renewed commitment to species conservation.

Did you know....Public lands in Wyoming are home to one of the longest migration corridors for big game. These pronghorn were spotted on the Mesa, just south of Pinedale, which is famous for its wintering mule deer, pronghorn, and sage-grouse. The "path of the pronghorn" migration route begins at the Mesa winter range and traverses about 170 miles to their summer range in Grand Teton National Park. 📸Mark Thonhoff #12DaysOfPublicLand
