Springing Through the Cracks

Wildflowers emerging from the dry, barren desert is a surreal wonder! Unfortunately, this spring may be the last time we will be able to witness and capture this magical beauty! A week ago, the Bureau of Land Management announced that it is opening areas around Factory Butte to off-road OHV use. Within hours of the announcement off-road enthusiasts were putting down fresh tracks across this fragile badlands. These tracks last for decades and the effects of human impact is permanent. If you are passionate about protecting our public land from lasting damages, let your voice be heard! Please send comments via email to jmccarth@blm.gov Every voice counts and every effort matters!
