Please take this survey about paleo resources in Utah on BLM lands if you are interested: Greetings, Friends, Colleagues, and Stakeholders of Utahs Archaeological and Paleontological Resources, I am very pleased to announce a new partnership between BLM-Utah and Tread Lightly! to develop a public outreach campaign that aims to eliminate the looting and vandalism of archaeological and paleontological resources in Utah. As Im sure youre aware, there have been numerous media stories regarding the looting and vandalism of these resources in Utah that have made international headlines, and BLM-Utah has decided to develop a proactive and positive message about these illegal behaviors. This effort will eventually be incorporated into Tread Lightly!s existing “Respected Access is Open Access” public outreach campaign (treadlightly.org/programs/respected-access-campaign/), which reaches an estimated 10 million people each year. I am now inviting you and your respective organizations to join this exciting partnership. I truly believe the public outreach campaigns messages will be more powerful if we all speak with one voice regarding the responsible enjoyment of archaeological and paleontological resources. To kick things off, I am asking you and your respective organizations to please take 10 minutes to complete an online survey that will assist us identifying which particular behaviors and issues you believe the public outreach campaign should focus on. The survey can be accessed at the below link through January 31, 2015. I also encourage you to pass this information and link along to your friends and colleagues who may also be interested in participating in the survey. https://surveymonkey/s/BLM_APResources Once the survey results are compiled, BLM-Utah and Tread Lightly! will be reaching out to those stakeholders who have expressed an interest in participating in the development and implementation of the outreach campaign for a partnership kick-off meeting sometime in early 2015.
