Bureau of Land Management

Millions of acres across 11 Western states would be up for sale. Republicans say it will help solve the affordable housing crisis, but environmental advocates say it’s not a serious solution.

Economist Megan Lawson also says that wildfire danger would be a huge risk to these potential homes.

The Trump administration has announced its intent to repeal a landmark Bureau of Land Management rule that placed conservation on equal footing with other uses of public lands, including oil and gas development and grazing.

Freshman Representative Jeff Hurd (R-Colo.) is sponsoring a bill that would require Bureau of Land Management field offices across the west to adopt plans that would open up more lands to oil and gas drilling.

Under the Biden Administration, the Bureau of Land Management developed a rule that prioritized conservation as a use on its public lands, equal with other uses like mining and grazing. While lauded by public lands and environmental advocates, many in the Trump Administration oppose the policy.
