Cultural Resources

Beale Wagon Road

STATUS: There are many archaeological sites in the district; some are significant
and some are not. There were the hunters, gatherers and farmers in our area's past.
State and federal laws regulate cultural resources on both private and public lands.

POLICY: The district feels cultural resources are a fragile link to the past, are
important, and that significant sites should be protected and studied. However,
we feel that insignificant sites should not stand in the way of natural resource use
and conservation nor infringe on private property rights.

IMPLEMENTATION: The district's work and in its cooperation with other
agencies and producers will seek to preserve significant sites and to promote
awareness of their importance. The district will also promote reasonableness in
dealing with cultural resources when it may conflict with the use and
conservation of natural resources.
