Other Information:

Over 450 million Americans and foreign visitors traverse public lands each year. The bureaus that provide recreational opportunities - BLM, FWS, and NPS - are particularly dedicated to ensuring that visitors have the best possible experiences. In a national dialogue about America's Great Outdoors, citizens reiterated the importance of open spaces and recreation to their quality of life, health, and commitment to conservation. National parks, FWS refuges, and BLM public lands provide recreation experiences that include many forms: camping or hiking; catch and release trout fi shing; canoeing; bird watching; biking, swimming, and many other activities. Many water-related recreational options are also available as a result of Bureau of Reclamation projects. These bureaus make special accommodations to address the need for accessibility to public lands and to better engage underserved communities.
