Bureau of Land Management
Government Administration
BLM manages one in every 10 acres of land in U.S. encompassing forests, mountains, rangelands, arctic tundra and deserts
About us
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, and cultural resources on the public lands. In 2021, join us in celebrating our 75th anniversary! Learn more: https://www.blm.gov/about/history/75th-anniversary. #ReImaginePublicLands #PublicLands75

In a thick jungle just beyond the Belizean/ Guatemalan border, a team of our employees and partners found themselves navigating rugged terrain to map one of the largest cave systems in the world. During this six-day excursion, described as an "experience of a lifetime," the team camped under a canopy of trees filled with spider monkeys, bathed in cave pools, and woke to the sounds of parrots at sunrise. Read their story: https://ow.ly/EsI950T3mEk. 📷 Two people document artifacts on a cave floor, BLM photo.

On this day 151 years ago, Yaquina Head Lighthouse in Newport, Oregon, was lit for the very first time.

Head out to Oregon on your next adventure to explore the tidepools, observe wildlife, and tour the state's tallest lighthouse. 📷 Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area, Bureau of Land Management - Oregon/ Washington; Steve Walser

Pollinators 🤝 rare plants. They just go together, but why? We're studying the relationships between pollinators and rare plants in Pine Hill Preserve, California. This ongoing study will help identify where pollinator resources are shared, and which bees, butterflies, and moths may be partial to specific plant species - enabling us to improve management of rare and native plants that share pollinators in the area.

"Hmm, difficult. Very difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind either. But where to put you...? Better be.....Gryffindor!" Coyote Buttes North (The Wave) and Coyote Buttes South, in Arizona's Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, hosts some of the most visually striking geologic sandstone formations in the world, like the "Witch’s Hat." (But we think it looks more like the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter!). What do you think? To preserve wilderness character and limit damage to this fragile area, we limit visitation to Coyote Buttes through a permit system. 📸 Coyote Buttes South, Witches Hat, BLM Arizona; David Caldwell #TravelTuesday
