The United States holds a wealth of dazzling, resource-rich wild spaces primarily managed by four government agencies. Here are the differences in the sort of lands the agencies oversee—and what that means for travelers
BLM lands generally offer a wider variety of permitted uses than National Parks and the National Wildlife Refuge, though visitors should check the rules at specific sites. Permits and passes may also need to be purchased, and rules may change depending on the time of year.The U.S. Forest Service is the oldest of the four agencies. Today, the FS’s duties include restoring and protecting water, air, and soil, conducting controlled fires, and managing invasive species.
One of the Forestry Service’s roles is fire management—planned fires are conducted to improve wildlife habitat or restore diverse vegetation to the ecosystem.
