The BLM is responsible the management and conservation of resources on 258 million surface acres, as well as 700 million acres of subsurface mineral estate. These public lands make up about 13 percent of the total land surface of the United States and more than 40 percent of all land managed by the Federal government.
Most of the public lands are located in the Western United States, including Alaska, and are predominantly extensive grassland, forest, high mountain, arctic tundra, and desert landscapes. The BLM manages multiple resources and uses, including energy and minerals; timber; forage; recreation; wild horse and burro herds; fish and wildlife habitat; wilderness areas; and archaeological, paleontological, and historical sites.
In addition to its minerals management responsibilities, the BLM administers mineral leasing and oversees mineral operations on Federal mineral estate underlying other state, private, or federally administered land, and manages most mineral operations on Indian lands.
The BLM is also responsible for fire protection on public lands and on all Interior Department in Alaska, as well as for wildfire management on the public lands on the public lands in Alaska and the Western States.
BLM recreational sites are found across the western states. These links will provide information on BLM resources for camping and other outdoor activities.
