Bureau of Land Management Recreation Strategy 2014–2019

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Recreation Strategy 2014–2019 is a national sectoral strategy of the United States of America. Its main objective is to reposition the resources of the Recreation & Visitor Services Program to achieve social, economic, and environmental goals of local communities and provide more benefits for mutually shared customers.
More specifically, the Strategy provides that, externally, the BLM will capitalize on its recreation brand of America’s “Backyard to Backcountry” treasure, consistently coordinating with community and regional landscape-level representatives when planning and managing recreation settings, services, and facilities; prioritize recreation areas that provide the most significant public benefits; and leverage financial resources through community partner organizations to ensure that top-priority sites and services are maintained.
Internally, the BLM will train and maintain a recreation workforce capable of engaging productively in community relations and identifying outcomes to benefit communities and visitors alike; revise internal processes to provide greater support for a community-centered approach and better information for decisionmaking; improve communication and outreach efforts; and use traditional and alternative funding sources as efficiently and effectively as possible.
