Rangelands and Grazing

Under its multiple-use and sustained yield mandates, the BLM manages public rangelands for various uses and values, including livestock grazing, recreational opportunities, healthy watersheds, and wildlife habitat.  These lands preserve the open spaces that continue to shape the character of the West.
