Happy birthday to us! We don't need fireworks to celebrate when we have night skies that look like this. 🌌🎆 But we are celebrating with a fee-free day! Plan your adventure now: https://ow.ly/7xlV50SCpgZ. On July 16, 1946, the Bureau of Land Management was established by merging the Grazing Service and the General Land Office. Since then, we have evolved and adapted to the nation's changing needs. Today, we manage 245 million acres of public landscapes for all Americans. 📷 Alabama Hills, Bureau of Land Management - California; Marcin Zajac/ Share the Experience.
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

Who says learning can't be fun?! 🏖️👩🔬 Last month, Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area staff hosted the Palm Beach County Boys and Girls Club for a day of environmental education. The kids had a blast touring the lighthouse and newly built history center, learning about water quality and testing samples, and got their hands dirty potting mangroves! 📸 Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area, BLM Eastern States; Sudani Knowles #Education #Partnership
