Founded in 1987, the Public Lands Foundation works to protect America's public land system under the administration of the US Bureau of Land Management and to develop a nationwide network of concerned citizens through public education, scientific analysis and advocay. Our goal is to ensure that future generations will enjoy the ethic's and economic benefits that public forest, rivers, deserts and mountains provide. A copy of our quarterly newsletter is sent to each BLM office. We learn from our working BLM members that it is read by many BLMers in those offices. Perhaps those who enjoy reading the newsletter are not aware that one does not need to be a BLM retiree to be a member of the Foundation.
Membership is open to anyone interested in the public lands.
So if you are one of those who do read and enjoy The Public Lands Monitor either in your office or on line, we ask you to support our efforts by becoming a member. Our mission is to preserve and enhance the integrity of land and all its natural resources, both surface and sub-surface for their multiple use benefits. As diverse as the public lands it manages is the array of responsibilities that the BLM oversees and the focus of PLF's endeavors. The Public Lands Foudation is a part of the 2001 Combined Federal Campaign. The special relationship that exists between BLM and the Foundation concerning the health of the public lands deserves special consideration by current employees.
