In all modern states, some land is held by central or local governments. This is called public land. The system of tenure of public land, and the terminology used, varies between countries. The following examples illustrate some of the range.
In several Commonwealth countries such as Australia, New Zealand and Canada, public lands are referred to as Crown lands. Recent proposals to sell Crown lands have been highly controversial.
In France, (French: domaine public) may be held by communes, départements, or the central State.
In Portugal the land owned by the State, by the two autonomous regions (Azores and Madeira) and by the local governments (municipalities (Portuguese: municípios) and freguesias) can be of two types: public domain (Portuguese: domínio público) and private domain (Portuguese: domínio privado). The latter is owned like any private entity (and may be sold), while public domain land cannot be sold and it is expected to be used by the public (although it can be leased to private entities for up to 75 years in certain cases). Examples of public domain land are the margins of the sea and of the rivers, roads, streets, railways, ports, military areas, monuments. The State's private domain is managed by Direção-Geral do Tesouro e Finanças and the State's public domain is managed by various entities (state companies and state institutes, like Agência Portuguesa do Ambiente, I.P., Estradas de Portugal, E.P.E., Refer - Rede Ferroviária Portuguesa, E.P.E., APL - Administração do Porto de Lisboa, S.A., etc.).

PUBLIC LAND TRANSFER - Introduction to State Transfer (Episode 1 of 15)
The threat of losing our public lands looms large. That threat grows, passing like wildfire through halls of Congress and state capitols, spreading its invasive rhetoric in our communities. People with soft hands and expensive suits tell us “It’s just transfer. It’s not like we’re selling them.” It’s not just transfer. And it is a big deal. tu.org/publiclands
UPDATE (4-25-2017): America's outdoor recreation industry now generates $887-billion per year and 7.6 million recreation-based jobs. America’s 640 million acres of national public lands—including our national forests and Bureau of Land Management lands—provide hunting and fishing opportunities to millions of Americans. They represent the uniquely American values of freedom and adventure that are the envy of the world. And while no sportsman would say that federal management of our lands is perfect, the idea that individual states will do a better job at running them is fundamentally flawed. In fact, proponents of the public land transfer movement have drawn up some pretty fantastical scenarios about how much better off we’d be with land in state hands. States are simply not equipped to...
Stealing your public lands is the new anti-hunting movement in America. Transferring or selling your Federal lands is being promoted by fringe politicians. The fringe operators float around all kinds of myths to support their "constitutional fiction." This video addresses three of the big myths; Unconstitutional, Better Management, and a Takings due to the States. You will see these claims are wrong. And you will realize who are those "Damn Feds." The Damn Feds are Congress, the people who refuse to manage your lands properly. Some advocate outright sale of these lands. Western state land boards who would manage these lands are not accountable to you. You will see why hunting, camping, hiking, and access would be significantly altered by state ownership of these western lands, in addi...

President Trump has made some conflicting statements on the topic, but his election has renewed the debate over whether to return federal lands either back to the states or to private ownership. Nowhere are they watching this more closely than in Nevada, where more than 85 percent of the state's land is owned by the federal government.

This is part two in a series. In part one of this series, Dave Helgeson discussed the basics of RV boondocking. In this segment he narrows in on how to boondock with an RV on public lands including where they are and how to find them. Even veteran boondockers will learn some valuable tricks here about where to stay away from the crowds of RV parks, and in most cases for free, not $30, $40, $50 or even more a night for a space in a congested RV park. An excellent, inexpensive way to learn more about boondocking is "Boondock Bob's Guide to RV Boondocking" by Bob Difley. It's available in Kindle from Amazon at http://amzn.to/2kfdk2a . An excellent printed book is "The Complete Book of Boondock RVing: Camping Off the Beaten Path" at http://amzn.to/2jFlCBn . If you missed part one of the seri...
http://diy-sportsman.com Scouting for deer on public land can seem like a daunting task. For many hunters, the idea of scouting is walking on public access trails or deer trails aimlessly until they find deer sign a week before the season, oblivious to the "big picture" of deer patterns or how hunter pressure has been affecting the land. With this video, I hope to shed some light on my process of scouting efficiently. By getting the most of your time in the woods, you can cut years of experience off of the time it takes to really learn what's going on in an area. -Wind Statistics http://www.windfinder.com/forecasts/#4/51.40/9.62 -CalTopo Aerial and Topo Maps http://caltopo.com -Google Earth http://www.google.com/earth/ -Bing Maps (click on Bird's Eye) http://www.bing.com/maps/ -MN W...
March 2012, Governor Herbert signed HB148, Utah's Transfer of Public Lands Act, which demands that the United States extinguish title to Federal Lands and turn them over to the state to manage by the end of 2014. There are a number or resources on the internet to get more background on the ACT and find out what other western states are doing at www.americanlandscouncil.org. This week on the County Seat we ask, What is the status of Transfer of Public Lands in Utah? A number of organizations such as, National Association of Counties, The National Republican Committee, and a number of States have passed resolutions in favor of Transfer of Public Lands. We also had an opportunity to talk to two professors from the University of Utah about the constitutional and political issues involved in ...

Environmental Politics and Law (EVST 255) The lecture centers on public lands management and the effect of property rights on sustainable resource management. Property rights create a complex set of relationships that complicate effective environmental management. Popular conceptions of wilderness also make it difficult to manage public lands sustainably, since people view wilderness as a place of freedom, without regulation. Managing property rights and people's concept of right to wilderness are the central issues facing natural resource managers and public lands managers. As a result, it is important to consider external forces, such as climate change, that influence one's ability to exercise property rights. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

On this episode of Gritty Bowmen we chat with our good friend Ty Stubblefield of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. “They’ve done studies to find out why someone stopped hunting, or why they didn’t get started hunting, and the number one answer was ‘they didn’t have a place to hunt’.”
This video is intended to demonstrate the low environmental impact that 3D seismic surveys have on our lands with technologies such as heli-portable drilling shot holes and vibroseis trucks.

Join us as we discover the possibilities of hunting public land together. We will show you how to scout public hunting land using the internet, satellite imagery and boots on the ground scouting tactics. What to look for, how to save time, and how to mark potential spots. After one week of the above video being posted we will randomly draw one person from the comments section on the video to win a free hog hunt with us here in Houston!
The Bureau of Land Management manages nearly 22.9 million acres of public lands in Utah, or about 42 percent of the state.
