Bureau of Land Management

Description

The National Conservation Lands programs financially support studies aimed at increasing our understanding of the resources present on BLM lands, the values these areas protect, and the effectiveness of BLM"s resource management decisions. The program seeks to develop and maintain strong partnerships with State, local, university, tribal, and non-profit stakeholders in shared conservation stewardship by engaging partners in conducting management-focused studies on the National Conservation Lands. Results from these studies on National Conservation Lands will inform management strategies throughout BLM as well as other land management entities. The Management Studies Support Program for National Conservation Lands will use partnerships with University, State, local, tribal, and non-profit entities to gather the best available data and synthesize information to support BLM"s land management decision processes, citizen science, and tribal co-stewardship initiatives.
