      "summary": "Four federal agencies administer most of the U.S. government's land. The National Park Service\nadministers the Park System for recreation use and preservation. The Fish and Wildlife Service\nmanages wildlife refuges primarily for protecting and improving fish and wildlife habitats. The\nBureau of Land Management manages the public lands for sustained yields of multiple uses \ngrazing, recreation, timber, water, and fish and wildlife. The Forest Service similarly manages the\nnational forests. Most forests and public lands are also available for mineral exploration and\ndevelopment. Three special land systems are also administered by these agencies: the Wilderness\nSystem, for pre-serving pristine areas; the Trails System, for non-motorized recreation; and the Wild\nand Scenic Rivers System, for river recreation. Congress has also established many special\ndesignations for certain lands. This report summarizes the permitted and prohibited uses of lands\nmanaged by these four agencies, as well as of the many special designations. It will be updated at\nthe beginning of the 107th Congress. For more detailed information, see CRS Report 98-991,\n Federal Land Management Agencies: Background on Land and Resources Management .",
