2021 Marks the 75th Anniversary of the Bureau of Public Lands
The Bureau of Land Management is celebrating 75 years by inviting everyone to reimagine your public lands. […] The agency manages a wide range of uses, such as energy development, livestock grazing, mining, timber harvesting, and outdoor recreation, while conserving natural, historical, and cultural resources, including wilderness areas and national monuments, wild horse and wildlife habitat, artifacts, and dinosaur fossils. The BLM also consults with Tribes to ensure their rights and interests are addressed in management decisions. This promotes healthy and productive public lands that create jobs in local communities while supporting traditional land uses. ~https://www.blm.gov/about/history/75th-anniversary
