Our roots go back to the years after America’s independence, when the young nation began acquiring additional lands. At first, these lands were used to encourage homesteading and westward migration. The General Land Office was created in 1812 to support this national goal. Over time, values and attitudes regarding public lands shifted, and President Harry S. Truman, by means of a government reorganization, merged the GLO and another agency, the U.S. Grazing Service, creating the Bureau of Land Management. Learn more about our origins and how the BLM evolved over time in "Opportunity and Challenge: The Story of the BLM." We manage 245 million acres of public lands—that’s one in ten acres in the country—and 700 million acres of mineral estate. These public lands and subsurface acres are integral to the lives and livelihoods of communities and families across the country. This is accomplished by 12 main regional offices and headquarter offices in Grand Junction, Colorado and in Washington, DC.Visit site ↗CultivoCultivo (noun): “The devotion of time or attention to the improvement of” We wanted a name that captured the essence of cultivating, improving, and growing. “Cultivo” means all of these, and it also speaks to our work in global landscape regeneration.

Our Mission The Greater Yellowstone Coalition works with all people to protect the lands, waters, and wildlife of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, now and for future generations.

Farmers and ranchers care deeply for their land and animals, but agriculture, one of the world's oldest industries, hasn't yet fully benefited from modern technology. That gap is a massive opportunity to unlock greater productivity and sustainability. We think the answer lies in pasture management. More efficient and smarter rotational grazing makes better use of the land, boosts productivity and improves soil health. Productivity doesn't have to come at the cost of sustainability. With the right tools, producers can deliver both.Visit site ↗Idaho Fish & Game (IDFG)All wildlife, including all wild animals, wild birds, and fish, within the state of Idaho, is hereby declared to be the property of the state of Idaho.

The National Forests were originally envisioned as working forests with multiple objectives: to improve and protect the forest, to secure favorable watershed conditions, and to furnish a continuous supply of timber for the use of citizens of the United States. Forest management objectives have since expanded and evolved to include ecological restoration and protection, research and product development, fire hazard reduction, and the maintenance of healthy forests. Guided by law, regulation, and agency policy, Forest Service forest managers use timber sales, as well as other vegetation management techniques such as prescribed fire, to achieve these objectives. These activities have captured substantial public attention, and in some cases, become hotly debated issues.Visit site ↗University of Wyoming ExtensionMission The University of Wyoming Extension will empower the people of Wyoming to make choices that enhance their quality of life.
