> The BLM manages more land – 256 million acres – than any other Federal

> primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The Bureau, with
> a budget of about $1 billion, also administers 700 million acres of
> sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM’s multiple-use
> mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for
> the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau
> accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation,
> livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by
> conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public
