The Bureau of Land Management

The BLM manages one in every 10 acres of land in the United States, and approximately 30 percent of the Nation’s minerals. These lands and minerals are found in every state in the country and encompass forests, mountains, rangelands, arctic tundra, and deserts. The BLM promotes multiple-use on public lands, consistent with the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA). To manage public lands, the BLM prepares land-use plans, also known as Resource Management Plans (RMPs). RMPs serve as blueprints for keeping public landscapes healthy and productive for multiple-use. As these RMPs are prepared, the BLM invites and values local voices and diverse views; respects the ties that native and traditional communities have to the land; and develops partnerships that bring successful resource stewardship. As a result, we have a strong history of ensuring opportunities for commercial, recreational, and conservation activities on public lands. For more information, visit https://www.blm.gov/
