Speak Up for America’s Public Lands Before November 10

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is considering revoking the Public Lands Rule (Conservation and Landscape Health Rule), which helps ensure our nation’s public lands are managed for clean water, healthy wildlife habitat, and future generations.

The rule allows conservation leases on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands, enabling vital work like improving water quality, restoring habitat, re-vegetating degraded areas, and reducing wildfire risk. Without this rule, BLM leases would once again be limited to extractive industries.

Rolling back these protections would erase progress toward balanced, science-based management of more than 245 million acres of public lands that support over 300 threatened and endangered species, provide clean air and water, and sustain communities and local economies. BLM is accepting public comments through November 10, 2025 on a proposal to rescind this critical rule. We urge every voice that cares about wild places, healthy ecosystems, and resilient communities to speak up.

How to Comment

Visit our Public Lands Rule page for comment/letter ideas and the official Federal Register page to post your comment. Remind BLM that:

• Conservation leases are a legitimate, multiple-use tool
• Public lands are home to hundreds of at-risk species that depend on intact habitat
• BLM is legally required to protect fish and wildlife
• The Public Lands Rule reflects public values

Our public lands belong to everyone. Let’s make sure they continue to serve wildlife, people, and the planet. Thank you for standing up for the landscapes that define the Inland Northwest.
