National Conservation Areas
National Conservation Areas (NCAs) are designated lands in the United States that aim to protect and conserve natural resources, wildlife habitats, and cultural heritage. Managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), these areas provide opportunities for outdoor recreation, education, and scientific research while ensuring the preservation of ecosystems.
NCAs often feature diverse landscapes, including forests, deserts, and rivers, making them vital for biodiversity. They serve as important spaces for activities like hiking, camping, and wildlife viewing, allowing visitors to connect with nature while promoting sustainable land use practices.
