The primary mission of the BLM is to ensure the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands. This is done to ensure that both current and future generations can use and enjoy these lands.
In line with this mission, the BLM has announced a National Public Lands Day Clean-Up. More details about this event can be found on the official BLM website.
