The BLM manages more land – more than 245 million 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, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
