It is the mission of the BLM Needles Field Office to sustain the health, diversity and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The public lands contribute in many different ways to the wealth of the nation and to the quality of life of every American citizen. For example, we provide recreation opportunities; we provide access to resources; and we protect some of the Mojave's most significant cultural, historic, and natural places. And, we serve communities through science, wildland firefighting, and law enforcement.

The Needles BLM Office offers outdoor education programs with school partners in the Tri State Area, youth organizations including the Girl Scouts of the USA, Boy Scouts of America, Boys and Girls Clubs, and families. The “Take it Outside: Connect with Your Public Lands” programs are designed to instill appreciation of the outdoors, and awareness of outdoor recreation opportunities. This understanding will lead to a higher participation in outdoor recreation opportunities while instilling land stewardship ethics in participants.  For more information about any of these programs, please contact the Needles Field Office.
