The Elko Field Office comprises 7 million acres of public lands. The responsibility of the district ranger is the protection of resources and the safety of users on public lands. The ranger protects wood products, archeological sites, wild horses and other resources. Trash dumping is a problem in areas where BLM lands are near cities and towns.
Wood cutting on public lands requires a permit.
The wood must be taken from designated wood cutting areas or be dead and down. The BLM protects the resources so all may enjoy public lands safely. This is a U.S. Government Computer System. Before continuing, please read this disclaimer and privacy statement.
