In the foreground we see hills covered with green sagebrush. In the middle distance we see some tan-colored buildings on a gravel pad. In the far distance we see the terraced landscape of an open pit mine under a blue sky with a few white clouds.

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.
