About the Bureau of Land Management
The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The BLM promotes multiple-use on public lands, consistent with the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA).
Congress tasked the BLM with a mandate of managing public lands for a variety of uses such as energy development, livestock grazing, recreation, and timber harvesting while ensuring natural, cultural, and historic resources are maintained for present and future use. This means BLM manages public lands to maximize opportunities for commercial, recreational, and conservation activities supporting an all-of-the-above energy approach through environmentally responsible development; promoting jobs on working landscapes; and serving the American family – which includes being good neighbors and recognizing traditional uses of public lands (i.e., hunting, fishing, and other recreational opportunities).
