The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Environmental Education website began in the early days of the World Wide Web (1996) with the posting of information about educational opportunities on public lands. In 1998 and 1999 the site was revamped and expanded. Since then the site has built up a large archive of materials that may be useful to teachers and students of all ages. Now with a new name and a new look, the website is produced and maintained by the Environmental Education and Volunteers Group of the Bureau of Land Management (commonly called BLM). It presents learning opportunities associated with the 261 million acres of public lands that BLM manages for all Americans. They have gathered information for students, teachers and adult learners to use both in the classroom, in informal outdoor settings, or in "virtual" classrooms. The site includes resources from many of their field offices scattered mostly throughout the Western United States.
