In The Spotlight BLM Partners with Local Businesses and Organizations to Celebrate Migratory Birds!

In addition to the bird banding demonstration, there will be a bird hike and identification activity, along with a Merit Badge Counselor to assist boy scouts with their Bird Study Merit Badge. Leading up to the event, individuals are invited to participate in a Poster and Photo Contest. Winners of the contest will be announced at the Festival. The rules are simple:
Submissions will be accepted until May 1, 2013. For more information, please contact by phone 435-865-3065 or email birdday.cc@gmail.com.

The BLM manages nearly 22.9 million acres of public lands in Utah, representing about 42 percent of the state. Located mostly in western and southeastern Utah, these lands are varied, ranging from rolling uplands to sprawling desert lowlands. Utah’s public lands feature some of the most spectacular scenery in the world, from the snow-capped peaks of remote mountain ranges to colorful red-rock canyons.
The BLM’s first national monument is also located on public lands in Utah. Situated in beautiful red-rock country, the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument encompasses nearly 1.9 million acres in the south-central part of the state. The area offers a unique combination of archaeological, historical, paleontological, geological, and biological resources.
BLM Utah manages public lands for a variety of uses. These lands not only provide minerals, energy, and livestock forage, but also natural, historical and cultural resources that the agency is charged with protecting. In addition, Utah’s public lands offer incomparable opportunities to experience solitude and enjoy outdoor recreation.
