## What this funds

The 2027 budget request for Recreational Access is $20,500,000 and 0 FTE, no change from the 2026 Recreational Access funds are used to acquire land or access easements through private lands to provide public access to landlocked BLM lands. Securing and improving public access to these lands serves various recreational activities, including hunting and fishing. These funds invest in acquisitions that substantially add to or improve recreation access by working with willing landowners to secure rights-of-way, easements, or fee simple lands. These acquisitions provide access or consolidate Federal ownership so the public has unbroken spaces to recreate, hunt, and fish. Bureau of Land Management 2027 Budget Justification
