The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is celebrating its 75th anniversary "by inviting everyone to reimagine your public lands," the organization announced in a press release.

The agency, which was established in 1946 when President Harry Truman merged the General Land Office and the Grazing Service, oversees approximately 245 million acres of public land.

“For the last 75 years, the BLM has been tasked to manage our nation’s lands for the benefit of all Americans,” BLM Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management Laura Daniel-Davis said in the release. “As we look toward the future, public lands will continue to play a key role in our efforts to battle climate change while supporting local communities and economies. I look forward to working with the BLM to ensure those public lands are around for many generations to come.”

The BLM is responsible for managing a broad range of America's natural, historical and cultural resources.

“As a multiple-use agency, it’s important to remember that the BLM manages public lands for everyone,” BLM Deputy Director of Policy and Programs Nada Wolff Culver said in the release. “Whether you are finding peace and solitude on the awe-inspiring landscapes managed by BLM or relying on federal grazing permits to support your ranching enterprise, our public lands are an important part of American’s lives.”

The BLM manages approximately one-tenth of America’s total land and roughly 700 million acres of the country's subsurface mineral estate.
