The Bureau of Land Management has a unique mission within the Department of the Interior. It's the scope of our work that sets us apart. We manage activities ranging from outdoor recreation to livestock grazing, from mineral development and energy production to conservation of natural, historical and cultural resources.
More than 10,000 employees across the nation take on the responsibility of protecting our resources and how they're used on public lands. Our people take an active role in serving the communities adjacent to our public lands. And we balance the country's population growth with its natural resources - a consistent source of new challenges for our creative employees to face.
