15th Anniversary Edition

Places You Know,

Places You’ve Never Imagined

If there is such a thing as the “classic” western 

American landscape, it likely lies within the realm 

of public lands managed by the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM). An agency of the Department 

of the Interior, the BLM oversees more than 245 

million acres—13 percent of the nation’s land area. 

Few realize, however, that more than a tenth of these 

lands are part of a relatively young conservation 

system known as National Conservation Lands, which 

celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2015.

America’s National Conservation Lands include 

about 875 areas that have been specially 

designated by the President 

or Congress for their 

special values. They 

range in size from the 

51-acre Pompeys Pillar 

National Monument in 

Montana—which still bears the 

carved signature of Captain William Clark 

of the Lewis and Clark expedition—to Utah’s vast 

1.9-million-acre Grand Staircase-Escalante National 

Monument, where extraordinary dinosaur fossils have 

been discovered.

Created in 2000 by then-Secretary of the Interior 

Bruce Babbitt, National Conservation Lands—formally 

known as the National Landscape Conservation 

System—gathered these special places into a 

single integrated network to be managed under the 

BLM’s multiple-use and sustained-yield mandate, 

with conservation as the overarching goal. National 

Conservation Lands are managed to conserve, 

protect, and restore the exceptional scientific, 

recreational, cultural, and ecological values for which 

they were designated.

National Conservation 

Lands are among America’s 

best kept secrets, even 

though some—such as 

the spectacular Red 

Rock Canyon National 

Conservation Area near 

Las Vegas—are located 

just minutes from major 

metropolitan areas. 

Others, like Bisti/De-Na-Zin 

Wilderness in New Mexico, 

are extremely remote, 

offering solitude and selfdiscovery in a primitive, 

backcountry setting. Within 

National Conservation Lands, 

visitors can explore slickrock 

deserts, remote forested coastlines, and deep 

canyons on wild, free-flowing rivers. Other areas serve 

as outdoor “laboratories” for the study of historic 

and prehistoric cultures, paleontology, and wildlife. A 

number of areas support traditional activities such as 

Native American cultural and religious uses, hunting 

and fishing, and livestock grazing.

NOBUMICHI TAMURA

Preserving Our Past

A critical part of the BLM’s mission in numerous National Conservation Lands 

is the study and preservation of thousands of archaeological sites from 

cultures that flourished long ago. The highest density of such sites in the 

nation lies in Canyons of the Ancients National Monument in southwestern 

Colorado, where ancestral Puebloan people built thriving communities 

hundreds of years ago. The spectacular Grand Canyon-Parashant National 

Monument, located near the little-visited north rim of the Grand Canyon, has 

evidence of human habitation dating back 11,000 years. On the Florida coast, 

the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area celebrates more than 

5,000 years of continuous human habitation, from the early Jeaga Indians to 

Civil War blockade runners.

CALIFORNIA COASTAL NATIONAL MONUMENT, BOB WICK, BLM

Restoring the Land

In many areas, BLM staff and local volunteers work to restore 

the land to healthy conditions where native plants and 

animals can thrive. On the dramatic fault block massif of the 

Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and Protection 

Area in southeastern Oregon, land exchanges with private 

ranches have created more than 100,000 acres of contiguous 

wilderness, along with the nation’s first redband trout reserve 

to improve stream health and fish habitat. Members of the 

Pueblo de Cochiti are managing partners with the BLM at the 

Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in central New 

Mexico, maintaining trails and giving cultural tours to student 

groups that visit their ancestral homelands. The Friends 

of the Missouri Breaks Monument in Montana have helped 

restore historic cabins and build “exclosures” to protect 

cottonwood seedlings along riparian areas. In California, 

hundreds of volunteer birders help the BLM collect critical 

data on seabird populations within the California Coastal 

National Monument.

A Place for Wildlife

As urban areas, agriculture, roads, and water projects 

increasingly alter the geology and hydrology of our 

landscape, space for wildlife grows more and more scarce. 

That is why many areas in National Conservation Lands 

were established to protect and conserve vital wildlife 

habitat. The rugged cliffs above Idaho’s Snake River, 

for example, provide nesting habitat for one of the densest concentrations of 

breeding raptors in the world. Each spring about 800 pairs of falcons, eagles, 

hawks, and owls return to the 485,000-acre Morley Nelson Snake River Birds 

of Prey National Conservation Area to mate and raise their young. Other such 

areas include the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in southwestern 

Oregon, where more than 200 bird species and 70 species of butterflies 

have been sighted in the 52,900-acre monument. Farther south, the Aravaipa 

Canyon Wilderness in Arizona is home to desert bighorn sheep and 11 species 

of bats. Up in Alaska, the 1.2-million-acre Steese National Conservation Area in 

the alpine tundra is a perfect place to spot grizzly bears, moose, and caribou.

Learning from the Land

Many National Conservation Lands contain world-class 

research sites where scientific discoveries help us better 

understand our changing world. In Las Cienegas National 

Conservation Area in Arizona, scientists from the BLM 

and the Nature Conservancy, local ranchers, and other 

partners closely monitor grazing effects to help protect 

the Southwest’s best remaining desert grasslands. In an 

ancient New Mexico tidal flat—now Prehistoric Trackways 

National Monument—the movements of ancient reptiles, 

amphibians, arthropods, and sea creatures have been frozen 

in the sediments for almost 300 million years. New Mexico’s 

magnificent Fort Stanton Cave—part of the Fort StantonSnowy River Cave National Conservation Area—provides an 

undisturbed snapshot of geologic history.

GRAND GULCH WILDERNESS STUDY AREA, BOB WICK, BLM

WILDERNESS – 8.7 million acres in 222 areas 

Efforts to “tame” the wilderness and settle the frontier are an indelible 

part of America’s pioneer heritage. However, early in the 20th century, 

people began to recognize the importance of this vanishing resource 

to our nation’s heritage and our well-being. This led to a movement 

to protect some of America’s wildest places. In wilderness areas, the 

earth and its community of life are allowed to take their own course and 

remain undisturbed. With no roads or development, wilderness provides 

outstanding opportunities for seclusion and self-guided recreational 

activities, including backpacking, horseback riding, hiking, hunting, and 

mountaineering. In places such as Bruneau-Jarbidge Rivers Wilderness in 

Idaho and Mecca Hills Wilderness in California, one can find true escapes 

from civilization.

WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS – 12.7 million acres in 523 areas

The BLM has studied all lands under its jurisdiction and made 

recommendations to Congress regarding which areas have wilderness 

values. These lands—wilderness study areas—are protected until 

Congress makes a final decision regarding whether or not they should 

receive formal wilderness designation. Wilderness study areas include the 

14,000-foot Handies Peak in Colorado and Grand Gulch in Utah with its 

prehistoric cultural riches and red rock canyons. 

NATIONAL SCENIC AND HISTORIC TRAILS – 

5,761 miles of 18 trails or segments

Recreationists might choose to backpack the spine of the Rockies 

on the Continental Divide or take a day hike to enjoy the beauty 

of the Pacific Crest—America’s national scenic trails offer diverse 

opportunities for both short treks and extended adventures and 

are renowned for their stunning scenery. National historic trails 

closely follow pioneer trails or other routes of travel. They preserve 

the remnants of nationally significant pathways and the settings 

in which they are located. Visitors can immerse themselves in the 

actual landscapes that served as backdrops for events such as 

westward migration on the Oregon Trail or supply caravans taking 

the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro Trail from Mexico City to 

Santa Fe.

CONSERVATION LANDS OF THE CALIFORNIA DESERT

Immense, harsh, and isolated, the California desert and its 

imposing starkness belie the area’s location, just a few hours’ 

drive from one of the most populous U.S. regions. Colorful 

canyons, towering dunes, and seemingly barren mountain ranges 

characterize this arid terrain. But it also features surprising, hidden 

gems such as palm oases and the saltwater Amargosa River. The 

BLM manages a portion of these lands for conservation purposes 

as part of its suite of National Conservation Lands.

NATIONAL MONUMENTS – 5.6 million acres in 21 areas

From the gravity defying, sharp peaks of New Mexico’s Organ 

Mountains-Desert Peaks to the dazzling sandstone waves of 

Arizona’s Vermilion Cliffs, BLM national monuments protect some 

of the most significant resources found anywhere on public lands. 

The Antiquities Act of 1906 grants the President the authority 

to designate national monuments in order to protect “objects 

of historic or scientific interest.” Congress also occasionally 

establishes national monuments.

WILD AND SCENIC RIVERS – 2,423 miles of 69 rivers

Decades ago, as dams were being built around the nation for 

irrigation and flood control, Congress recognized the need to 

protect some of our most outstanding stream segments. On 

October 2, 1968, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Wild and 

Scenic Rivers Act into law, protecting these free-flowing segments. 

From the crystal clear rapids of California’s North Fork American 

River to the teeming grayling populations of Alaska’s Gulkana 

River, wild and scenic rivers are in the “hall of fame” of America’s 

waterways.

NATIONAL CONSERVATION AREAS AND SIMILAR 

DESIGNATIONS – 4.1 million acres in 21 areas

National conservation areas and similarly designated areas 

feature exceptional scientific, cultural, ecological, historical, and 

recreational values. They vary tremendously in landscape type and 

size, ranging from the steep river canyon of the Gunnison Gorge in 

Colorado to the rugged desert vistas of Nevada’s 1.2-million-acre 

Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails.

Yours to Explore

One of the greatest aspects of National Conservation Lands is that 

many are virtually unchanged from a time when our nation was new 

and these lands were wild frontier. They are yours to explore and 

discover on your own with topo map or GPS in hand. Designated 

wilderness areas and wilderness study areas in particular are some of 

the most rugged and remote lands in the nation, offering adventurous 

visitors plentiful solitude and a rare escape from civilization. In the 

nearly 270,000-acre Owyhee River Wilderness in southwestern Idaho, 

hikers and paddlers on the area’s wild and scenic rivers can explore 

sinuous canyons carved into the high desert plateau. The trails of the 

McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area in western Colorado lead 

hikers to numerous sandstone arches and Native American rock art; 

the Kokopelli Trail, which ends in Moab, Utah, offers mountain bikers a 

dramatic, single-track, 142-mile-long trail.
