Bureau of Land Management

BLM logo$320 million for the Bureau of Land Management will be used to remediate abandoned mines, which will allow increased access to public lands. Funding will help expand BLM’s capacity to authorize renewable energy development on public lands while ensuring environmental protection of these areas and restoration of native plants and animals, including sage grouse habitat. Funding is also included for Interior agencies to eliminate underbrush and other vegetation in fire-prone areas to reduce the threat and potential severity of fire.

More information, including maps, on Bureau of Land Management Recovery Act projects is coming soon. Be sure to check back often.
