In the Spotlight

• Monticello Field Office Releases Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan

• Climbing Area Closures in Indian Creek
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has documented a pair of nesting Peregrine Falcons and a pair of Golden Eagles in the Reservoir Wall and Cat Wall climbing areas. These raptors are protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the BLM is required to protect these raptors from activities that may cause stress and/or nest abandonment. Therefore, the entire portion of Reservoir Wall, Slug Wall, and Cat Wall climbing areas (no rock climbing allowed), as well as the access road into the area will be closed until August 31, 2009. Closure signs have been placed in the area and all the kiosks along Indian Creek. Thank you for your help in protecting our natural resources. If you have any questions, please contact Tammy Wallace, Wildlife Biologist for the BLM Monticello Field Office at 435-587-1527.
