BLM-ES, Cultural and Paleontological Resource Managment Program

BLM (Eastern States) manages multiple archaeological and historic sites, artifact collections, places of traditional cultural importance to American Indians and other communities, and paleontological resources that occur on several million acres of federal lands in the Eastern States. Collectively, these ¿heritage resources¿ represent over ten years of human occupation, and millions of years of the earth¿s natural history. BLM Cultural Heritage and Paleontology Programs coordinate management, preservation, education and outreach efforts, economic opportunities, and public uses of a fragile, nonrenewable scientific record that represents an important component of America¿s heritage.The BLM (Eastern States) Cultural Heritage and Paleontology Resource Management Programs seek to establish partnerships that collaboratively encourage the public to learn about and engage with heritage resources in Eastern States, with the goals of creating a conservation stewardship legacy second only to Teddy Roosevelt, restoring trust and being a good neighbor, and sustainably developing energy and natural resources.
