Federal Land Management Agencies and Programs: CRS Experts

October 12, 2017Updated March 21, 2019 (R42656)

Congress faces multiple issues regarding the ownership and management of federal lands and related resources. The following table provides access to names and contact information of CRS experts on general policy issues related to federal land management, as well as the CRS experts on the specific agencies charged with management of those lands. These agencies include the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Park Service in the Department of the Interior, and the U.S. Forest Service in the Department of Agriculture. For an overview of these issues, see also CRS Report R43429, Federal Lands and Related Resources: Overview and Selected Issues for the 115th116th Congress.
