Lands and realty management seeks to improve access to public land and enable better overall management of BLM-administered land. Management of acquired lands or interests in lands is consistent with adjacent or nearby BLM-administered land. The BLM considers land use authorizations, such as permits and leases and protective withdrawals, on a case-by-case basis. Rights-of-way (ROW) management includes avoiding ROW authorizations in areas with 25 percent or more average slope and providing reasonable access across BLM-administered land to private land, subject to other resource concerns. The BLM manages renewable energy development in a manner consistent with other resource values, and initiates consultations with tribal governments if such development might affect tribes.

Unless otherwise specified, motorized vehicle use is limited to existing roads and trails on BLM-administered land. Specific areas such as the Cody Shooting Complex, the Lovell Shooting Range, and the Cody Archery Range are closed to motorized vehicle use except where permitted. The BLM does not restrict pedestrian and equestrian travel on BLM-administered land, and allows these activities on or off roads or trails, except during some limited seasonal restrictions.

The BLM manages recreational use to improve wetland habitat conditions along intensively used streams and reservoirs, consistent with the Wyoming Standards for Healthy Rangelands. Surface‐disturbing and disruptive activities associated with construction, maintenance, and use of roads, campgrounds, interpretive sites, and other recreational facilities are to be mitigated to protect other resource values.

Livestock grazing management includes the use of rangeland health assessments, resource monitoring, or analysis to determine if livestock grazing adjustments in amounts, kinds, and seasons of use are necessary.
