Stand Up for Our Public Lands

From the Alaskan tundra to the Everglades, and every rolling hill, rocky mountain, and sagebrush steppe in between, our federal public lands are both beautiful to behold and help provide wildlife habitat, sustain communities, and drive local economies.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages one-tenth of all lands in the United States and is charged with balancing the multiple uses of these lands, including oil and gas development, livestock grazing, outdoor recreation, conservation, and historic preservation, among others.

But changes implemented by the Trump administration in service of its energy first agenda are moving the agency away from its mission. These changes stifle collaboration and limit public input, and the proposed reorganization of the agency will only make things worse.

These changes are not improvements; they are steps back from the future our public lands need.

Send your message to Congress today and speak out on these new BLM changes right away.

Reconsider changes at BLM right away

Dear TNC

At a time when demands on natural resources are growing, we need strong coordination between and within our federal land management agencies -- including the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) -- to make the best, science-informed decisions about appropriate uses across our public lands.

But recent changes by the Trump administration undermine thoughtful management of public lands and steps back from the balanced approach developed by administrations of both parties over many decades. The administration has put the BLM on the wrong path, but there's still time to change course.

Congress has a voice in the future of our public lands, and it must use it. Lawmakers should reject these moves by the administration and take steps to bolster, not weaken, the agency's ability to fulfill its mission, including through more funding and greater oversight. I urge you to do just that.

Sincerely,
