Background

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is a United States Department of the Interior agency that administers public land in the United States. Most of this land land is located in the western states and Alaska. It's mission is to sustain the health, diversity and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.

BLM's regulatory role in recreation use (some national monuments, camping, boating, hunting, fishing, mounting biking, driving, etc.) and commercial use (mining of coal, gas, oil, forestry, grazing, etc.) of public land means that Wazers may navigate to these locations for business and fun.

In one 2006 report (1), the Bureau of Land Management manages over 82,000 miles of road and more than 16,000 miles of trails.
