About the BLM: The BLM manages more land – 258 million surface acres – than any other Federal agency. Most of this public land is
located in 12 western states, including Alaska. The Bureau, with a budget of about $1.8 billion, also administers 700 million acres of
subsurface 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.
