land management
Overseeing property use
Land management is the process of overseeing and making decisions about how land is used, developed, or conserved.
It encompasses planning for agriculture, forestry, urban development, wildlife habitat, and natural resources.
Government agencies practice land management on public lands; private owners do the same on their property.
The Bureau of Land Management oversees millions of acres in the American West.
