Land and Water Conservation Fund
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) supports protection of federal public lands and waters. The fund also supports voluntary conservation on private land.
The BLM receives LWCF funding through annual appropriations from Congress; these funds are used to support specific conservation, recreation, and related projects that enhance management of and public access to existing public land and resources.
