Wilderness Study Area signs illegally moved on public lands

ELKO, Nev. – The Elko District Office, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), has recently been informed that vandals have been moving Wilderness Study Area signs and placing them on roads in unrestricted areas of public lands. As BLM works to resolve the issue within the Elko District, public users are encouraged to refer to official maps for WSA locations and boundaries as well as inform District Office staff of improperly marked locations. When reporting locations, please include coordinates, or township range and section.  Maps are available for free at the District Office located at 3900 E. Idaho St., Elko, Nev. or online at http://bit.ly/ElkoWSA.  BLM press release

Where, oh where has my WSA gone,

Where, oh where can it be,

With our signs so moved and our face so red,

Its time again to raid Bun-dy.

Notice they had to be "informed".  That means the feds didn't even know it had happened until a member of the public told them. 

Not to worry though, the BLM only has 500+ of these boogers totaling 12.7 million acres.

Plus, more are coming through BLM's planning process.  Copycatting Smokey Bear, this time they will be called lands with wilderness characteristics.

Plus, all of Interior's lands are so well managed that Secretary Jewell has been crisscrossing the country to get the Land & Water Conservation fund reauthorized.  That way they can acquire more land to put signs on.

I'll bet the sign-making industry is lobbying hard for that fund too.  While the rest of the economy is in the doldrums, thanks to BLM the sign industry is making a killing.
