About BLM
The BLM manages more land – 256 million surface 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.
