Earth Day 2016: Celebrating America’s Newest Conservation System!

On Earth Day 2014, the Bureau of Land Management introduced three vintage-style posters depicting some of the spectacular landscapes of our National Conservation Lands. Two years and a beautiful collection of posters later, the BLM is proud to share the next four poster locations in this ongoing series:  

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in Nevada; 

Bruneau Wild and Scenic River in Idaho; 

Steese National Conservation Area in Alaska; and 

Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and Protection Area in Oregon.

The BLM’s National Conservation Lands – also called the National Landscape Conservation System – conserves, protects, and restores nationally-significant landscapes and places that have outstanding cultural, ecological, and scientific values for the benefit of current and future generations. These lands include over 875 areas (more than 30 million acres) of national monuments, national conservation areas, wilderness areas, and other federally-designated special places.

See all vintage posters in the series to date with beautiful photos of the areas on the My Public Lands Flickr site: http://bit.ly/1zMc1cN.

A limited number of vintage posters are available at BLM state offices in both postcard and poster formats. Requests for paper posters can also be sent to gfuhs@blm.gov. Please include the word POSTER in the subject line and provide your name, mailing address, and the number and type of poster. Requests are limited to five posters per recipient.

At Interior, every day is Earth Day as we work to protect the lands and waters that belong to all Americans and ensure a bright future for our shared heritage. At Everglades National Park in Florida, we’re helping restore historic water flows and wildlife habitat and working to understand the impacts of climate change. Secretary Jewell is in the Everglades today celebrating the next phase of the Tamiami Trail Bridge, one of the largest conservation projects the National Park Service has ever undertaken.

Shenandoah National Park in Virginia is home to wildlife like this cute fawn, who wandered away from its mother to munch on spring plants. To share more National Park experiences like this one, join us for a Shenandoah Instameet on Saturday, April 23, as part of our National Park Week celebrations. We’ll meet at the Stonyman Trail parking lot (Mile 41.7 on the Skyline Drive) at 4:30 pm ET and take pictures along the way. Everyone is welcome to join the fun and we hope to see you there – be sure to share your photos with us afterwards using ‪#‎ShenNPS‬ and ‪#‎FindYourPark‬!
