Environmental Education

wh3enviroed.jpg (20409 bytes)The goal of the BLM's Environmental Education Program is to realize healthier and more productive public lands through better educated citizens who are willing to assist in solving complex environmental problems. The program includes both a school-based component and a public education and participation component.

Providing the resources to learn about resource management has many advantages. By becoming familiar with the concepts and principles of managing within nature's limits, students learn to become innovators and problem solvers, and to make sound decisions. Studying resource management also encourages students to think about their environment holistically and to see connections between parts, both in the natural world and in other intellectual pursuits.
