Volunteer and Make a Difference!

 

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), an agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior, administers 261 million surface acres of America's public lands, located primarily in 12 Western States. The BLM sustains the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.

 

 

 

More than 17,000 volunteers support the work of the BLM each year, from conducting field work in remote locations to serving as camphosts at the BLM's many recreation sites.

 

 

Hundreds of Workampers volunteer each year at dozens of BLM sites. Here is a sample of the BLM opportunities listed in Workamper News:
