Description

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is responsible for more than 245 million acres of public land--about 10 percent of the nation's surface land area. This land is primarily located in 12 Western States, including Alaska. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The BLM accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands. Soil, water, and air resources are the most foundational and basic of natural resources. Soil, water, and air processes determine, to a large extent, the structure and function of ecosystems.
