Rangelands are Everywhere!
The many different types of rangeland together form the largest
part of the earth's land surface - about 45 percent!
The United States is composed
of about 36 percent rangeland, and rangelands cover over 80% of
Utah!
Utah
Rangelands
Rangelands cover a diverse
topography in Utah - from desert canyons to spectacular mountains
with numerous lakes and streams. We find rangelands on National
Forest Lands and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Lands. It is the
major land type of our many state and national parks, monuments,
and recreation areas. It is a major landtype on Indian Reservations
within the state, and is also found on the outskirts on many of
the cities and towns we live in. This makes Utah a major attraction
for people seeking outdoor recreation activities.
