BLM publication shows rewards from public lands


The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), an agency of the Department of the Interior, has announced the availability of Public Rewards from Public Lands, a publication featuring the benefits that the American people receive from their public lands, including the agency’s role in conserving open space.

Public Rewards points out the benefits that Americans receive from the diverse resources on BLM-managed public lands, including livestock forage, energy and minerals, timber, fish and wildlife habitat, scenic and recreational sites, Wilderness Areas, and archaeological and historic sites. The publication provides detailed information on specific recreational areas of the public lands, as well as each public land state’s heritage assets.

In addition to the national publication, state-specific copies with full-color covers are also available. Copies of Public Rewards From Public Lands may be obtained from all BLM State Public Affairs Offices and from the agency’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. The publication will also be available on BLM’s home page at www.blm.gov.
