Here's Who Manages YOUR Public Lands

- There is a LOT of land in the United States. More than 2 BILLION acres in fact. You might even own some. Most of that land is privately held. But just under one third of all land in the United States is owned by the Federal Government.
This is the land our National Parks are on. And our National Forests. And our National Wildlife Refuges. And many of our most important conservation lands. To manage that land, the Federal Government relies on 4 main agencies: the National Park Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management.
Together, those agencies manage 94% of the land owned by the Federal Government. Each of them manages the land they’re responsible for in a different way. The choices made by these 4 agencies in how to manage our public lands then, have major consequences for the overall health of these lands.
So, this video will give you an overview of each of those 4 Land Management Agencies, how much land they oversee, how they’re organized, and most importantly, how they manage the land they’re responsible for. These are YOUR public lands after all, and I hope this video will help you be just a tiny bit more knowledgeable about how they’re run. Enjoy!

As someone who has a firm belief that our parks and public land system is the best thing this country has ever done and currently attempting to visit all np (39) done. I applaud this channel randomly was recommended it and have learned so much info. Truly shocked when I saw your sub count top notch content will definitely be sharing this with friends keep it up!
Thank you! This entire channel is basically a love letter to parks and public lands lol. I'm so happy I get to share these stories with other people and I'm glad you're enjoying them. Thanks for being here!
Very well documented here. Its amazing that so many people, most out east, don't even know about BLM land.
Thanks! Yeah, I think because BLM land is almost exclusively in the West, plus the fact that they don't have many "named" units means a lot of people don't know what they do. Which is crazy because they manage the most land!
great video! separate individual videos on the units would be great!
Got it, thanks for the feedback!
Yes please!! This is an incredible video

I was aware of all of these four agencies and had a rough idea of what there major task was, however, your video explain very well their interaction. I like the way you are objective in presenting all of your videos and not leaning to one extreme or the other. The management of our public lands is as you point out a delicate and complicated process.
Glad you found it helpful! I do the best I can to present information in a way that's accessible, but still fair to the issues I'm talking about. I don't always get it right, but I at least try and make sure everything is well reasoned and defensible. Thanks for watching!
@@NationalParkDiaries I think you’re doing a good job
Love the channel. I've been binging it the past couple days. Would love a video about the great lakes!
Thanks for being here and thanks for the suggestion!
I'm a gold miner not all mining is large scale that causes issues. We are out there with shovels and pans. Also the people who hold claims through blm also have responsibilities to keep the land up
This chanel is awesome literally just found it on my lunch break
Thanks for being here!
Gave a speech the other day in a class on the necessity of making more National Parks to alleviate the increased visitation along with other solutions. I could listen to my man NPD all day, great research and makes it easily digestible for us commoners. Keep up the great work buddy!
Thanks Zach, appreciate the support!
People go see them because they are special types of attractions. You cant just make a random national park and think people will go see that new one instead. The ones that receive the most attraction do so for a specific reason.
You are totaly backwards... Beed to be in lottery back to the people
Read your constitution.
Mainly I think we should expand the current ones as much as possible to include any undeveloped land in the vicinity
I wish we had a say in the use of state owned public land in Pennsylvania. Harrisburg Pennsylvania thinks they own everything in the parks including the air above it! Specifically the Airspace that's controlled by the FAA . They put illegal restrictions over the land they have no control over. I don't have the resources to fight them on it so I just stopped using the Parks. I actually moved out of what I once praised as the best state to live in. They allow fracking on the lands but won't let licensed drones capture images of inaccessible places even disabled people that can't hike deep into the woods. I've done a lot of research on their rules they definitely have crossed their legal reach. But what can one person do? I called and sent letters to the agencies that overlook the parks and even the state governor "whose office says it's not their problem?" 🙄
pa went down the tube on 9/12/2001.
Your statement of “these are our lands” feels a bit weird to say as the BlM and the Forest service in my local area seem to disregard the publics opinion on what to do with specific areas, for example, recently they have started changing trail names without consulting the public, not to mention closing off numerous Trails and essentially funneling hikers, bikers, and horses all onto the same trail, wouldn’t that create a significant amount more erosion? It seems like it’s not “our public lands” at this point which is unfortunate.
Exactly. ^^
Another fantastic video. You make information that could be boring and dry very interesting. Super glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Jen, much appreciated. Thanks for supporting the channel!
Just found your channel this week and I’ve been binging all of your videos and inspired to me to want to visit more national parks!
So glad to hear that! Welcome to the community and thanks for supporting the channel!
thank u for this video! it's v informative n I find topics like this interesting n important to know! looking into each of the agencies deeper would be awesome.
Thanks for watching and for the suggestions!
Would love a USFS video. I live in the Idaho panhandle which has a lot of forest service land and history
Got it, thanks for the feedback!
@@NationalParkDiaries Been binging your videos. I think national forests would be a great topic. Maybe as part of it look at the national forests in the great lakes region. It's interesting hiking there because alot of the forests date from the 1930s, and it is always interesting to see the perfectly spaced trees, the remnants of concrete, and even the odd abandoned 1930s car in the middle of the woods.
4:14 Ok yellow is BLM, dark green is NFS, light green is NPS, and brown is F&W. If these are all federally administered lands, what are blue and red because they seem to make up more than 6% of the federal land.
Blue is owned by the Department of Defense and red are Native American reservations, which are technically still considered federal land. Other managers include the Bureau of Reclamation, the Army Corps of Engineers (considered separate from DoD), NASA, and the Department of Energy among others. But yes, those others only make up 6% of the federal portfolio.
In a general way this is informative; however, I have a problem with the grazing of private property (cattle and sheep) on "our" lands. Times have changed from when the original directives were codified in these agencies: there's millions more people in the United States now, cumulatively putting extinction-level pressure on a steadily increasing numbers of native wildlife just so cattle can continue to be grazed on our lands. I am not, repeat, NOT against ranching, that is until the motivations of private business, ranchers, conflicts with and becomes detrimental to preserving what (little) is left of America's original wildlife. Such indigenous and endemic wildlife all across America has slowly but steadily been extirpated almost everywhere from their original ranges with the exceptions of on public properties. Meanwhile, the cattle industry has grown and grown to where many ranchers feel their use of our public lands, for their own private profit no less, exceeds the rights of all other citizens to use and enjoy such lands unspoiled by and untrammeled-over by cattle; and, even more importantly, many such ranchers see their use of our public lands gives them authority to demand any and all native species who's needs t might conflict with their cattle must be eliminated. If a cattle rancher can not generate profit from running his cattle on his ranch land either he needs to rethink his business model, or get out of the cattle business. Wolves, bears, mountain lions, all the major and minor carnivores must have healthy, sustainable populations on our public lands; despite all the pronunciations about "management", America's native carnivores have for thousands upon thousands of years did an excellent job of "managing" all the other animals they cohabitated with; which in-turn did an excellent job of managing all the plants on these lands. This is, or was, so obvious by the sheer abundance of animals and healthy forests and grasslands original European explorers found when first gazing upon the American continent. All that has been thrown out of whack, over the last 200 years by over exploitation combined with intentional indifference and lack of focus, all for the sake of profits for people who for the most part are now long-dead. Yet the systems of "extraction" these people codified continue to hobble and cripple modern, now more clearly understood, need for stewardship over management. There is nothing carved in stone within the dictates, rules, laws and operation guidelines within all these federal, and state agencies; based on new knowledge, everything should be subject to not just another review (geez), but to being changed, tossed-out, replaced with far-sighted, far-reaching policies that protect, preserve, and encourage expansion of America's native natural plants and animals' populations. I walk through forests and mountains hearing mostly silence, where our ancestors once heard the sounds of many birds. I walk mostly alone through forests and mountains where our ancestors saw an amazing panoply of wildlife. I walk mostly alone through forests and mountains seeing vast tracks of single tree species, planted by man, where once our ancestors marveled at the spectacular variety of hard and soft wood trees that had evolved there...I think its about time, actually past time we started working to restore what our forefathers discovered. I think its about time, past time actually, we stop with all the vested interest management and start encouraging all of what's left in Nature to again develop those dynamic balances that produced the fecund ecology of America's original vast panoply of animals and plants back to our public lands; despite all the pronunciations about "management", America's native carnivores have for thousands upon thousands of years did an excellent job of stewardship all the other animals they cohabitated with; which in-turn did an excellent job of managing all the plants on these lands.

Thanks for your comment. This video was mainly intended to be a simple overview of the major land management agencies in the United States. BUT, I agree that cattle ranching and grazing is a very challenging subject when it comes to public lands and I'm planning to do an entire video on it at some point in the future. I want to be able to do it justice though, so that's why I didn't go into too much detail here. Thanks for your perspective!
Also, if you're interested in carnivores, I have a mini-series about carnivore ecology/the Green World Hypothesis here: th-cam.com/play/PLovJ2AOOoO8tA-15bErVerVIS855oFq_8.html

@@NationalParkDiaries I would love if you could elaborate the situation at Pt. Reyes National Seashore in that video! Cattle ranches/dairies have decimated the parts of the park where they're allowed to graze and hurt elk populations due to hunting on farmland and the unfortunate placement of ranches which have blocked elk from water. It's an issue that's finally gaining more publicity here in the SF bay area, but many of the details are kept quiet because of MALT/local politics in Marin county.
Yes, Well Done Lad. Thank You
Thanks for watching!
Hey NPD, please make a video about land development, timber harvesting, and mineral mining on public land. I am particularly interested in the process that (let's say a large gold mining company or perhaps a large home builder) goes through in order to use public lands for private industry purposes.
Definitely going to do a video on mining at some point. All good issues, thanks for the suggestions.
The tree huggers are not protecting oregon anymore- I'm not a tree hugger- but there should be limits
As someone who works in a pet store and has interactions with fwc and animal control regulary, as well as having a strong passion for nature and our parks, this video along with all your others has been enlightening helpful and incredibly entertaining. Keep up the good work and education.
Thank you Kyler, will do!
Thanks for this video. Very informative.
Thanks for watching!
Public lands belongs to the people of to this fair lands
Until you realize that the government owns it and wont let you on it. Keep falling for their lies tho.
Parts maybe. But nature has to be protected.
There's no such thing as "private land" when you have to pay property tax
@10th House Tek exactly!
So you your imaginary world the roads, schools, law enforcement, etc. funded by property taxes are unneeded? How are you going to get around when there are no roads, and all land is privately owned?
@@texaswunderkind No adult believes that dumb shit. People know how taxes are "supposed" to work. THEY DON'T!!
@@texaswunderkind income tax that only exists because of WW2 makes up half of the governments income. Property tax makes up only ten % so your arguments invalid. Also the roads can be built on private land or public that’s fine. No one cares. The govenrment can buy your land at fair market value (in a lot of cases pays more) in order to build said road.
But to tax you till you croak and if you’re unable to pay for the land to then take your land is not ownership, it’s serfdom.
I get the point you are trying to make, but what a weird video to make it. You are referring to the fact that allodial title doesn't exist in the US. (which you are correct, private individuals can't have allodial title to land in the US). But everyone knows that when people say private land in a common law system like the US, it means land in which a private individual and not the government owns the fee simple title. (everyone might not now the specific terms or legal background but they understand what public and private land mean). If you think that allodial title should exist in the US, that's a whole other argument but there is a clear distinction between public and private land under the law even with fee simple titles.
I just found your channel yesterday and have already binge watched several of your videos! This was a very interesting topic and I’d love it if you could do individual videos on each these agencies that explore them a bit more in depth. Especially the BLM! Great video and I think it’s great that you are bringing these topics to more people!
Thanks so much, glad you're enjoying them! I've gotten some great feedback for future agency videos, so I'll try and weave those in here over the coming months.
Yes please do another video that’s goes further in details about the other agencies, that be interesting. Thanks and great informative video.
Got it! I'll start to work those in. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!

@@NationalParkDiaries For 11th & 12th graders, we do a spring program about conservation, sustainability, renewable energy, resource economics, etc. However, I’ve even shared your videos with some college professors as well. Truly fantastic content! Love how you break it down
I miss living out west and having access to public land like this. Here in Texas everything is privately owned so there’s nowhere to get out and away unless you go to Big Bend. Most other parks are just packed all the time. It sucks.
What I miss about Montana, not only do we have state parks but also plenty of BLM areas giving us some breathing room away from the popular tourist areas.
Owned by the Federal government? In name only. So much western states land is designated as federally owned due to SCHUYLER COLFAX who connived to make Federal land ownership a condition of statehood, Of course, he traced back to the 1600s Dutch colonial Schuyler dynasty, today among the really low key but powerful dynasties in The Pilgrims Society, a league of families loyal to the Crown of England. Land is owned by The Crown! Crime of 1873, railroads, Mexican American War, Aztec Club of 1847, Order of Indian Wars, Hereditary Community Society----Pilgrims Society, lien against all property in USA via national debt.
Your information wasn't wasted, appreciated very much.

Thank you for the reply. Keep up the great work.
@@RK-cj4oc Haha, small world! (I'll have to check that video out for reference lol)
Thanks for the video! Your title is correct: "Here's Who Manages YOUR Public Lands." In your narration, you should be using the same term, "manage," instead of saying that the federal government "owns" the land. WE the PEOPLE own the land, and the government manages it in trust for us. It's an important distinction, but one which makes more clear the necessity for citizens to be actively engaged in overseeing the government in carrying out its duties.
Sad thing is those four agencies with that much land receives one of the smallest working budgets in the US gov.
It's interesting given how popular public lands are that they don't receive a comparable amount of financial support...
Doomsday is on the horizon. Believe Jesus is the Son of God.

Pres. Trump made people that work for BLM and worked in D.C. move to Colorado. Why? 1) As you pointed out, BLM is in the west. 2) So they will be closer and visit more often what they are in charge of!
That is very smart actually. Makes sense.
@@RK-cj4oc yes! Instead of being in their cushy office, and never checking out on their property assigned to them. Imagine being a landlord, and never checking on your rental?

They set that aside for sasquatch
Constitutionally, the federal government isn’t allowed to own any land outside the 10mi^2 area of Washington DC & enough land to operate coastal shipping ports.
Thank god they did this anyway.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and love using all of the public lands we have here. People who live in the rest of the country, mainly east of the Rockies have no idea of how great it is here. I own my home and of course have a small yard plus the parks in the small town where I live are available to me but the millions of acres of public land are why I stay where I am. I use the public land for multiple reasons such as camping, fishing, hiking, and more. I use different methods when camping overnight, such as with my travel trailer, tent, hammock etc. My travel trailer gets used mostly when I have my grandsons with me and in the winter since its a true 4 season trailer made by Arctic Fox. When I’m by myself I tend to use my Hennessy Hammock most of the time and occasionally use my tent. Having all those public lands at my disposal means a lot to me and my family. The public lands here are so vast that I’ve actually gone out into the forest and didn’t see another person for 6 weeks! We need to care for and protect our public lands so that they are there for future generations of Americans to enjoy them. Cheers
Thank you. Great information. Much appreciated!
Thanks Joanna! Always appreciate your support!

*INDIGENOUS OWNS ALL THESE LANDS WHICH ARE OWNED BY GOD*
Gotta say, the BLM does a bangup job at some stuff, but I fear that they will soon be very unhelpful; it is suddenly very political under new leadership. Here in Wyoming, the feds are frankly squandering much of the land; much of it is undergrazed, needlessly barren, and does not manage water well. If more hydraulic engineering went in to managing grasslands, they would be waaay more productive and also healthier.
The biggest problem is that water treaties were signed a hundred years ago during record snow melt, so each state is legally entitled to more water than is available. Colorado and Nebraska are in constant lawsuits over Lower Platte River water, because there is not enough to go around. Frankly, there are acres being irrigated that probably shouldn't be irrigated, and that is placing huge demand that cannot be met.
They aint worth a damn..Need defunded
Land needs ti be in lottery back to the people..
@@texaswunderkind Seems like grazing lessees have a natural incentive to put water-retention features into slopes, but who knows if they're permitted.
That wouldn't change irrigation too much, and would make the grass more productive.
...but that would only happen if leadership and the organization were passionate about their jobs.
Loving these videos, man. Keep it up!
Thanks so much, glad you're enjoying them!
I would really like to see more videos in the future on each of these 4 agencies. I would like you to do an in depth look at each of them. These videos would probably run a bit long as in 30 minutes or more and might need to be a short series on each. I would like to know about what there mandates are, who makes the ultimate decisions on land use, when do they overlap, what happens when land from 2 or more agencies is located next to each other or when land from one is within the others like here in the PNW where national forests have BLM land within them. I’ve seen wonderful things like Yellowstone and Yosemite which are preserved and I’ve seen horrible things like poor management of forests by the BLM and Forest service. I hope you make these in depth videos so more of us can understand whats going on with our public lands. One last thing, I would prefer to see more logging being done in Alaska and Canada. I say this because those are areas with billions and billions of trees located in places most of us will never go. So save the forests in the lower 48 where most of us will use them and cut the places we won’t.
Thanks for the feedback. Seems like there's a lot of interest in more videos about the agencies so I'll try and incorporate some of those over the next few months.
They all need defunded and land needs ro be in lottery back to the people..
@@davehughesfarm7983 And then? 90% sell it off and all wildlife is destroyed? What a solution.
Btw. It is not a problem to have trees be cut down in the lower 48. The problem is that the US does not enforce law enough. All the US would need is to put a law forcing log companies to plant 2 saplings for every 1 tree they cut down and really enforce that. In finland forests are growing despite logging being higher than ever because they actually enforce that policy.
Its a bit annoying how popular Great Smoky mtns national park is, but it was quite enjoyable, and luckily didn't feel like some artificially contrived tourist spot with a crapload of restrictions.
Ya out west they don't do there jobs very well
Would love to see a video about the BLM. I feel like they’re the least talked about and well known agency even though they manage the most land. I’ll be hiking through the Owyhee Canyonlands in the fall which is managed by them and it would be cool to hear more about the agency before then
Thanks for the suggestion!
Like what if it was policy that the forrest service required to replant every tree taken lol
alaska is 425k acers last i checked
I learned a lot from your excellent video.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
how much Private land has the Government seized, making it Federal Land only to grant Government contracts to Mine this once "private" land...?
Billions are being made off of Federal Lands from Mining to Timber and Sold to Country's World Wide.
for instance... US Uranium mined from Federal Land was sold to Russia...
does it make any sense why our Government would do this...?
The state of Nevada is not pronounced "ne VAUGH da" it is pronounced "ne VA day" with the "VA" rhyming with the va in the word "Vat." The narrator shows his eastern roots with the pronunciation he made.
A good, concise summary of the 4 big land management agencies in the federal government. When I was working for the U.S. Forest Service I found that most people were not well informed as to who managed what and why. This video would be a nice presentation in the visitor centers of each agency.
Thanks! That's what I was going for so nice to know it came through that way!
And the wait is over. 🤙
It's good to be back!

I am camped right now on BLM land in Colorado. Free-range cattle cruise through this area every day. We don't bother them and they don't bother us, the system seems to work very well.
Thank you so much for these videos. It is SO important to know how these parts and pieces of the US are managed, and who manages them.
Thanks for watching, glad you're finding them helpful!
"You own all this." False! Multiple federal agencies own that land and they manage it by bureaucratic fiat with input from the public.
Thanks for the informative video on the various federal agencies that manage the lands and how they are trying to strike a balance in regards to usage.
No problem!
Good stuff man. I thought it was sad how many times in 2020 I told people that BLM stood for something else pretty big and important.
Fantastic video

Actually it belongs to the people living on reservations and even then not to them. Imagine saying you own something that out last you and will be here long after you're gone. This joke of a country.

Please do a video on the BLM. Specifically, what are the rules, etc. and how the BLM sets and sees its management of "their" Federal Lands. I have been living for free on BLM land since October of last year in my RV/Tiny Home Conversion ("Rolling Man Cave" TH-cam).
Skipping over the fact that the federal government can't constitutionally own land beyond forts, ports, and D.C. of course. Privatization is the Way.
Yeah no. Parks and nature have to be protected. Companies will never do that.
Very good....however nothing about drilling for oil.
I’m glad the west has been preserved. The East is so overcrowded
Yeah I'd say it's time to take OUR land back....
I’d love to hear you do a video on Connecticut! Born and raised in the northwest corner! Some pretty interesting boundaries! The state owns the most land, second to them is MDC (which I could go on and on about)… be interesting to see what Youd come up with! MDC is a pretty intriguing!
Haha, one day I will do some videos on the Northeast! I've got plenty of ideas, just have to pull the trigger on a few. I'll get to you, I promise!
My county is 80% public land.
!
Thank you very much for explaining this. I now have a better understanding of the difference between these agencies. Though I probably need to watch it again and learn more.
Haha, yeah it can be overwhelming with all of these agencies and terms. I'm planning to do a deep dive of each agency at some point to help people understand them better. Thanks for watching!
thats ridiculous. the feds shouldnt have that much land.
So you see, the private management of the public lands by Darkrock Holdings and the Gate Charitable Trust just make so much sense now, with water rights managed by Tenor.
Private entities providing a public service
Honest.
Well, there's obviously way too much government. That's a given. But I don't think cattle ranchers should be allowed to graze/ overgraze our public held lands.
I think that this video is one of the best ted talks, and probably the best video about grazing on youtube. It will change your perspective on grazing. th-cam.com/video/vpTHi7O66pI/w-d-xo.html
They tried that in saguaro national park. The reason it's not allowed is because after years of cactus not growing they found after millions of dollars of studies that the cows grazing were trampling the cactus. Grazing land makes up over 40% of america and national parks make up 5%. Livestock doesn't need to graze on public lands.
i would like to see a more in depth video on BLM and how they function. Also wilderness how do they work? who manages them? ive seen wilderness boundaries all over the place with no rhythm or reason to it.
Thanks for the feedback. Wilderness areas are definitely a topic I want to talk about on the channel. Technically, they aren't limited to a particular land manager (NPS, USFS, BLM, etc), and can be created across National Parks, Forests, etc. I'll do a deep dive on them at some point.
Nice video 👍
With ever increasing disappearances in national parks and with the bizarreness of some of the cases, I don't think I'll be visiting one as long as I have a choice.
Later

Have some respect to the truth and honesty do not call what the non military portion of the Federal Government land controlling agencies do management!
Okay weirdo. Nature has to be protected. Not everything has to be ripped apart by corperations and development.
There are a lot of ignorant comments here. The Homestead Act gave away 80 acres of public land to anyone willing to live on it and improve it for five years. That's FREE LAND that only required that you do something with it. The federal government gave away 160 million acres, or 10% of the land area of the U.S. to private citizens that way. And that was fine, as long as the land being distributed was east of the Rocky Mountains, fertile, and with access to water. That wasn't true in the West, where arid conditions meant a full section (640 acres) might only be able to support four head of cattle. The Act was amended a number of times, raising the acreage to 320 and even 640, but there were few takers. The bulk of the land was given away before 1925 and that time the technology was such that a family could not make a living on that acreage. The act was ended in 1976.
half of the 640 millionn acres needs to be in lottery.. You win a tract lets say varying from 10 -160 acres you can trade it, sell it or homestead it...America needs this bad right now...
@@davehughesfarm7983 In other words you want companies to be able to buy up the USA land from people to then destroy our landscape.
YOU dont own your own land if u have to pay tax on it
No, you don't own it. You have access to it.
I'm loving your videos keep it up!
Will do, thanks for watching!
Great one! Like others have suggested in the comments you should do a deeper dive into each of the episodes.
Got it, thanks for the feedback Sean!
It is VERY SAD that our Michigan state forest service are earning money by selling the trees and stripping our land of trees as wildlife needs trees for cover and food to live. Things have changed. They no longer protect our resources. I watched them strip a nearby forest of trees last spring.
Yep defund all them adc agencies,,I hate them all..
