BLM Nevada

67% of Nevada - 48 million acres belong to the American people. Whether you make your living ranching or mining or whether you enjoy the iconic landscapes of the West by horseback, off-highway vehicle, hiking, hunting or fishing, you share our common heritage of public lands. Working hard and playing hard in wide open spaces is in the fiber of Nevada history. Photo: Star Peak 2 Geothermal Power Plant near Imlay.
