Gold Butte
The attached article from Mesquite discussing Gold Butte and protection is interesting.
To some of us this statement is important:
“It’s not this local community that needs educating about their own backyard. Most of the stuff I’ve been able to fine people for has been done by people from Las Vegas, and from other parts of the United States.”
Previously it was stated in the article that “the majority of the damage is caused by graffiti and off-highway vehicles.”
It would appear that the Las Vegas BLM should have a very active program on education –
OHV exploring groups in Las Vegas, SW Utah, NW Arizona and other areas. The first time I hear of one being held I will try to attend.
Youth groups or those most likely to leave graffiti. This statement coupled with the recent damage in Red Rock, Las Vegas define the need for such a program.
Like most situations today, the authorities find it easy to identify blame, but only reluctantly suggest programs to solve the problem.
Some of you have influence with Las Vegas BLM from working in their Site Steward program, and we would appreciate your involvement with BLM on these issues.
