The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) oversees approximately 245 million acres of public land, mainly in 12 western states, including Alaska. This is done on behalf of the American population. Additionally, the BLM also manages 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate across the country. The organization’s mission is to maintain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the benefit and enjoyment of current and future generations. More detailed information about the BLM’s work can be found on their official website.
