The Bureau of Land Management is asking for the public’s help when areas with graffiti are spotted. “If you notice graffiti, please RECORD it,” shares BLM Utah. “Use your cell phone or digital camera and take a shot of the related damage. Note your location and if possible, your coordinates. REPORT the damage to the Bureau of Land Management Tip Line at 800-722-3998. If possible, include photos and coordinates with your report. If you find graffiti on BLM lands, please do NOT attempt to REMOVE it yourself. In many cases, graffiti near ancient petroglyphs or pictographs is very difficult to remove and requires specialized training to avoid further damage to the site.” It is illegal to vandalize public lands. If one is convicted of the Class A Misdemeanor it could mean a fine of up to $100,000 dollars or a year in jail.
