Public lands are always on the move and so is the way we care for them! 🌄

The Department of the Interior is rolling out a proposal to modernize our decades-old planning rules, making it easier to plan for the future of your public lands. The goal? Streamlined decision-making, less red tape, and even better coordination with state and local partners.

This update will help us support our multiple-use mission and meet the unique needs of communities across the West and beyond. From recreation to conservation, energy to grazing, we’re working to ensure public lands remain healthy, productive, and accessible for everyone.

Happy Manatee Awareness Day!

Today we’re shining a spotlight on Florida’s gentle giants, the manatees! These peaceful plant-eaters spend their days gliding through our waterways, munching on seagrass, and playing a vital role in keeping aquatic ecosystems healthy and thriving. 🌱

Want to help protect manatees? Here’s how you can make a difference:
🛥️ Observe posted speed limits in manatee zones, slow boats save lives!
đźš® Keep waterways clean and free of trash. Every bit helps.
đź‘€ Give manatees plenty of space when viewing them in the wild, admire from a distance and let them be wild.

Let’s celebrate these remarkable animals and do our part to keep their waters safe and healthy for generations to come! 💙

Bats may be small, but their impact is mighty! 🦇✨

These nighttime acrobats are unsung heroes on our public lands, devouring insects, supporting healthy ecosystems, and keeping nature in balance. Recent monitoring in Minnesota uncovered an impressive cast of characters: little brown bats, hoary bats, silver-haired bats, eastern red bats, and big brown bats all making their homes on BLM-managed lands!

Each species plays a unique role in the landscape, from pest control to pollination. Protecting their habitats means healthier forests, thriving crops, and vibrant communities for generations to come.

Curious about the remarkable bats of the eastern U.S. and why they matter? Discover their stories and how you can help protect these winged wonders! https://www.blm.gov/blog/2026-10-23/bat-week-celebrating-species-blm-eastern-states
