VOSS, Judge.

¶ 1 In this appeal from the affirmance of an administrative decision, we consider whether the State Land Department and its Commissioner abused their discretion in denying grazing leases to appellants, who wished to rest the lands from grazing for conservation and recreation purposes. We conclude that the Commissioner acted within the law and his discretion and thus affirm the trial court judgment.
