The correct answer to the question is 2 federal agencies that are responsible for managing land resources in the United States. These two agencies are:
1. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM): The BLM is responsible for managing public lands, primarily in the western states, totaling approximately 247.3 million acres. They oversee a variety of activities such as grazing, mining, recreation, and conservation on these lands.
2. The U.S. Forest Service (USFS): The USFS is responsible for managing the national forests and grasslands across the country, totaling about 193 million acres. They focus on activities like timber harvesting, recreation, wildlife conservation, and ecosystem management within these areas.
These two agencies play crucial roles in the management and conservation of land resources in the United States, each with its own specific jurisdiction and responsibilities.
