Recreation and Visitor Services

Public lands offer a rich array of outdoor adventures. The Bureau of Land Management supports these diverse recreation experiences through its recreation resources and visitor services, which not only contribute to strong local economies but also promote the conservation of public lands. As we work to expand recreational opportunities for American families, we are committed to being good neighbors—respecting how communities use public lands and ensuring their voices are part of our decision-making process.
