    Summary Manager’s Report Fiscal Year 2015 National Monuments, National Conservation Areas, and Similar Designations Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah Page 2 Summary of Manager’s Reports for Fiscal Year 2015 - National Monuments and National Conservation Areas Highlights of Fiscal Year 2015 The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM’s) National Landscape Conservation System (National Conservation Lands) manages 873 units, including 46 National Monuments, National Conservation Areas (NCAs), and similar designations. The National Conservation Lands are uniquely diverse. They encompass red-rock deserts and rugged ocean coastlines, deep river canyons and broad Alaskan tundra. Many areas are remote and wild, but others are surprisingly accessible. The National Conservation Lands also protect our cultural legacy. They safeguard American Indian cliff dwellings and cultural sites and preserve the remaining traces of our nation’s historic trails. These units are the most well-known and well-visited of the National Conservation Lands. The management of these special units supports the BLM’s mission of sustaining the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. This report summarizes the successes and challenges from each unit as reported through the annual “Manager’s Reports” for fiscal year 2015. McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area, Colorado Page 3 Summary of Manager’s Reports for Fiscal Year 2015 - National Monuments and National Conservation Areas Highlights of Fiscal Year 2015 Recreation Mapping In 2015, the National Conservation Lands office achieved its goal of developing standardized recreation maps for every National Monument and National Conservation Area and posting those maps on recreation-focused web pages.

  • Definitions of Special Management Areas for Federal Public Lands
    Definitions of Special Management Areas for federal public lands Many different types of land management are applied to federal lands under as variety of regulations and prescriptions. By Gary Sprung Communications Director, International Mountain Bicycling Association, Nov. 18, 1997 The following areas or categories of areas, sites, and potential systems are regional, national, and international in scope and are managed totally or in conjunction with another agency, locale, or entity by the Bureau of Land Management. Most of these categories also apply to U. S. Forest Service areas. They are not listed in any particular order or sequence. The term "special" is limited to those areas and programs identified therein and may be expanded depending upon subsequent program and organizational capabilities at the Headquarters Office. Definitions are subject to refinement and currently form their basis from a variety of sources, i.e., statutory, policy, and program guidance. Comments to improve the definitions are encouraged. NATIONAL WILDERNESS PRESERVATION SYSTEM: An area designated by Congress to assure that increasing population, expanding settlement, and growing mechanization does not occupy and modify all areas of the United States. Designation ensures that certain lands are preserved and protected in their natural condition. A wilderness in contrast with those areas where man and his works dominate the landscape, is recognized where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not

  • Letter to Senate Appropriations Interior Subcommittee FY22 BLM
    March 17, 2021 The Honorable Jeff Merkley The Honorable Lisa Murkowski Chair Ranking Member Subcommittee on Interior, Subcommittee on Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Environment and Related Agencies Committee on Appropriations Committee on Appropriations United States Senate United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Chairman Merkley and Ranking Member Murkowski: Thank you for increasing funding for key Bureau of Land Management (BLM) accounts in the FY2021 Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations bill. As you prepare the FY2022 Interior Appropriations bill, we encourage you to build on that important work by including at least $21.131 million for BLM’s cultural resources account and at least $65.131 million for the National Conservation Lands. The BLM manages the largest, most diverse, and most scientifically important body of cultural, historical, and paleontological resources of any federal land management agency. Yet only about 10 percent of BLM lands have been surveyed for cultural resources. We urge the Committee to provide at least $21.131 million—an increase from FY2021 of $1.5 million—for the BLM’s cultural resources management account to help BLM fulfill its statutory requirements to inventory and protect cultural resources, manage paleontological resources, and improve government-to-government consultation with Indian tribes. This modest increase in funding would also support ongoing collaboration with state historic preservation officers in the West to standardize and integrate cultural resources data for BLM lands through the National Cultural Resources Information Management System (NCRIMS). This effort is a significant and often overlooked preservation success story. It funds predictive modeling and data analysis, in partnership with state historic preservation offices, to support planning for large scale cross-jurisdictional and other projects.
