Camping on BLM land in the North Klondike Bluff area is now officially limited to a new developed campground. The agency’s representatives say this improvement will help reduce impacts on resources like vegetation and fossil sites. Today on the news, we check in with Jennifer Jones, assistant field manager for BLM Moab’s recreation division about this years’ long effort and other developed camping plans in the area. Plus, the USDA announced it will invest millions of dollars in the San Juan National Forest. And, new outdoor watering restrictions are coming to Southern California, the sign that drought is forcing changes for life in the West.
