The BLM oversees about 245 million acres of public land primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska. This makes it one of the key entities managing land on behalf of the American people. The public lands are a significant asset for the country, providing space for recreation, conservation, and various economic activities.

In addition to the surface land, the BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. This involves managing resources below the surface, which can include minerals, oil, and natural gas. The reopening of more public land in Colorado will not only provide more space for public use but also potentially unlock more sub-surface resources for sustainable use.
