BLM Jackson Hotshots
The BLM manages more land – 253 million acres – than any other Federal agency. This land, known as
the National System of Public Lands, is 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 lands.
