Planning 101
Land-use plans and planning decisions are the basis for every on-the-ground action the BLM takes.
The BLM’s land-use plans have three main purposes:
- Allocate resources and determine appropriate multiple uses for the public lands;
- Provide a strategy to manage and protect resources; and
- Establish systems to monitor and evaluate the health of resources and effectiveness of management practices over time.
