As you've seen, BLM has huge
areas of land to protect and many resources on that land to care
for. Experts in many different resources work for BLM. There are
experts in minerals, animals, plants, recreation, and many other
fields. By working together, BLM employees can do what's best to
protect public lands now and in the future.
With so much land to manage,
it's a big job. And BLM doesn't just need experts to do it. All
sorts of people can help. As you've seen, people create some of
the problems that exist on BLM lands, and people can also help solve
them. In other words, BLM needs YOU! After all, as you've learned,
public lands belong to all Americans, and that means everyone can
help care for them.
