BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT

In 1946 the federal agencies known as General Land Office and Grazing Service were merged and renamed as the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). In 1975 Congress passed the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), which declared that federal lands managed by the BLM would remain under public ownership and under a multiple-use agenda, which includes opportunities for wilderness protection.

History of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)

The BLM manages 22.9 million acres in Utah (42%) with 3.6 million acres in Grand and San Juan Counties.

The BLM also manages several National Monuments in the Colorado Plateau such as Grand Staircase/Escalante and Canyons of the Ancients.
