FLPMA in its Historical Context

This session traces the history of FLPMA including, among other things, its legislative, administrative, and historical antecedents, including for example, the Public Land Law Review Commission’s 1970 report, One Third of Our Nation’s Lands. It then considers FLPMA’s unique public lands policies and requirements and how they are reflected in the BLM’s management of public lands today.

Managing our Public Lands under the Multiple Use Mandate (The BLM Directors Panel)

The current and a former BLM Director discuss the challenges of managing public lands under FLPMA’s multiple use mandate. Among the issues that will be covered are land use planning, resource constraints, the challenges of balancing commodity uses alongside recreational uses and environmental values. Each panelist will offer their vision for how the BLM should evolve over the next several decades.
