As America marks its 250th anniversary, the Bureau of Land Management is celebrating in Oregon by connecting communities with public lands that help tell the nation’s story. 

From Oregon Trail history in Baker City to volunteer stewardship at Wood River Wetland, BLM Oregon/Washington hosted two June events that highlighted how BLM staff preserve history, support communities today, and inspire people to care for these places for future generations. 

The events also recognized the BLM’s 80th anniversary of public land stewardship, celebrating eight decades of public land stewardship.
