Take 30 seconds to breathe and wander the trails of the Owyhee Wild & Scenic River. This wild river corridor flows through rugged, spectacular canyonlands and ash flows in southeastern Oregon. Thanks to its outstanding scenic, recreational, geologic, wildlife, and cultural values, the river was included in the National Wild and Scenic River System in 1984, meaning we can specially protect it. 📸 Greg Shine, BLM | BLM Oregon & Washington

Here in Oregon, we manage about 10 million acres of sagebrush habitat. The sagebrush ecosystem sustains rural economies built on outdoor recreation, ranching, farming, and energy development, and are critical for more than 350 other wildlife species – including pronghorn, the pygmy rabbit, and (of course) the sage grouse. To take care of these crucial landscapes, our teams plant seedlings, monitor wildlife populations, and hand build stone terrain features! Our goal: creating resilient, producti

Fire is an essential, natural process, having shaped the landscape for thousands of years, releasing, and recycling nutrients from vegetation back to the soil. Prescribed fire reduces buildup of hazardous fuels, improves wildlife habitat, and reduces the risk of high-severity wildfire. | BLM Oregon & Washington

Celebrate International Dark Sky Week—right here in Oregon! 🌌 Oregon is home to the largest International Dark Sky Sanctuary on Earth, the Oregon Outback Dark Sky Sanctuary.

On a clear night, you could see up to 15,000 stars—a magical contrast to the 500 visible in most cities. There’s something special about seeing the stars the way they were meant

It’s muddy season! Across the Pacific Northwest, we’ve been seeing high levels of rain, flooding rivers, and soggy trails and roads. If you plan to head outside, don’t forget to wear boots you don’t mind getting dirty! If you find a muddy road, please avoid driving on it whenever possible. Mudding on wet roads can cause damage to wildlife and make roads impassable for others. The activity can also destroy natural wildlife habitat, interfere with feeding and movement patterns, and push animals in

Several hundred wild horses gathered off the southern Oregon range due to declining health arrived recently at the Bureau of Land Management corral. About 700 horses were gathered from the Paisley Desert Herd Management Area last month due to a lack of water. The emergency wild horse gather used a helicopter to herd the animals into field pens placed among the sagebrush. Once gathered, the horses were separated by age and sex for the approximately 2-hour-long trailer ride from the town of Paisle

Each fall, Oregon salmon begin their annual migration back to the spawning grounds where they were born. Right now, you can find them at Wildwood: at Sixes Creek, at the end of the Wetlands Loop, and through the viewing window. 📸 Karina Arellano, BLM | BLM Oregon & Washington

“It’s sad to see. If you get a fire in here, you can’t get in here to put it out. But if we get these trees taken out, we can prevent the burning of the communities in the area.” Some of the most important work our foresters do is the removal of hazardous trees. These dead and dying trees make roads unsafe to travel, fuel larger wildfires, and put firefighters in danger. By removing them, we help avoid mega wildfires and keep local communities safe! 🌲 Learn more about our forestry program: http
