These recreation resources and visitor services support strong local economies and public land conservation. As the BLM works to enhance recreational opportunities, they strive to remain a good neighbor and partner.
Public lands managed by the BLM provide exceptional and one-of-kind recreational experiences that invite all to share in the enjoyment and stewardship of their public lands and waters. These lands are located near urban centers and towns, attracting over 82 million visitors annually. The BLM currently provides a wide range of developed and dispersed recreation opportunities that are accessible to the public at low cost. The BLM manages approximately 1 of every 10 acres in the US for multiple use; spanning Recreation Areas, Off-Highway Vehicle areas, and other management designations. In addition, over 37 million acres are managed as National Conservation Lands including National Monuments, National Conservation Areas, Wilderness, Wilderness Study Areas, Wild and Scenic Rivers, and National Scenic & Historic Trails.
In fiscal year 2025, the BLM will support the Department’s priorities by focusing on projects that build healthy communities and economies, advance environmental justice, address the climate crisis, and provide safe and equitable access to outdoor recreation opportunities for all Americans. These projects will:
- Connect with youth, tribes, and underserved communities to foster public lands stewardship.
