- Summary:
- This book is unique in that it draws largely from the firsthand experiences of current and former [Bureau of Land Management] BLM employees ... they have lived a specialized history, implementing evolving public land management direction and meeting the late 20th and early 21st century challenges of multiple use management in the face of increasing demands for public land users. BLM produced 'Our Heritage, Our Future: The BLM and America's Public Lands' as part of a commemoration of two important anniversaries: the creation of the General Land Office in 1812 and passage of the Homestead Act of 1862. The Public Lands Foundation, which is largely comprised of BLM retirees, provided assistance in developing some of the material in this book"--Page xi
