Restoration Blueprint

Public lands have long shaped the American experience. They serve as tangible expressions of the nation’s values, ambitions, and collective identity.

The health of America’s public lands is central to the health of the American people across the country—in big cities and small towns alike. The need for large-scale restoration has never been more clear or imperative. Without ecological restoration, many western landscapes are limited in their capacity to provide what the American people need and expect.

In response to this critical need, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)—the largest land manager in the country—is launching this restoration blueprint to build upon and increase the scale and efficacy of its efforts to restore public lands. The success of the BLM’s existing efforts to restore degraded lands and protect those at risk instills hope that broad-scale change is possible through strategic investment, focus, and partnership.

Through restoration, we can rejuvenate our public lands and ensure they continue to provide the beauty, resources, and experiences vital to American culture and prosperity for current and future generations to come. The long-term success of this blueprint hinges on the collaboration of partners who understand the critical importance of healthy public lands for the future of the country, and who will join the BLM in taking up this call.
