In July 2026, the Bureau of Management proudly celebrates 80 years of stewardship of approximately 245 million acres, a journey marked by the dedication of our people and the vibrant stories tied to our nation’s public lands.
This milestone aligns with the 250th anniversary of the United States, making it a unique opportunity to reflect on our history, honor our collective legacy, and inspire future generations.
As we commemorate these milestones, our mission remains the same - Keep public lands productive, sustainable, and available for future generations. From early priorities like grazing, minerals, and timber to today’s focus on recreation, energy, and landscape health, our mission continues to evolve while staying rooted in sustainability.
