Bureau of Land Management - Recreation Management

This program's goal is to provide recreation spaces for the public. The public uses these lands for a wide-variety of activities, including hiking, hunting, fishing, camping, rafting and rock climbing. Recreation services range from widely-accessible visitor centers to primitive campsites in remote areas.

Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Adequate

This rating describes a program that needs to set more ambitious goals, achieve better results, improve accountability or strengthen its management practices.
  • The program has fairly good long-term performance measures but has been unable to provide reliable performance data for those measures. Collection of performance data has been spotty. For example, no visitor satisfaction data was collected in 2002. This has made it difficult for the program to set meaningful annual and long-term performance targets.
  • User fee practices can vary significantly by location and type of activity. While some inconsistency is inherent given the dispersed nature of recreation on many bureau lands, there is still significant room for improvement.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Working to improve the consistency of performance data (including consideration of new data collection methods) and developing ambitious targets for recreation goals.
  • Continuing to emphasize greater consistency in establishing user fees so that fees better reflect the relative costs to the agency of managing different types of recreational uses.
