BLM concedes failure to protect artifacts on ATV Safari routes
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has agreed with SUWA that it failed to comply with federal law when it issued a permit for an all terrain vehicle (ATV) “safari,” a three-day affair in which as many as 400 ATVs travel over 500 miles of routes on public land in southeastern Utah’s San Juan County, including many routes in the Greater Canyonlands area.
The BLM’s pledge to follow the law in the future is welcome and SUWA will be watching to make sure it does.
