How many acres of land withdrawals does the BLM process?
Since 2007, the BLM has worked on processing nearly 20,000 acres in withdrawals. What’s a withdrawal, you ask? A withdrawal is an action which restricts the disposition of public lands and holds them for or dedicates them to specific public purposes such as recreation sites, national parks, reclamation projects, wilderness areas, power site reserves, military reservations, administrative sites, and more.
