The fox greeted us again as we went out to check on the site of the violation. This time I was with the landowner. There had been no further disturbance, but the change to the land was no less impressive this time around. I noticed this time however that the land not under a conservation easement on the property's other boundary had not been touched. Was there more respect for that landowners set of rules for their property?
Now comes hard part. There has to be a remedy to the violation. It will be a fight. The violator will undoubtedly claim ignorance. And the extent of the damage has to be fully examined. The amount of time spent just documenting and evaluating the violation so far has placed a drain on Utah Open Lands' resources. It has kept me up at night.
It is beyond frustrating and hard to write about without using a lot of expletives. Therefore, that's about all I can post for now.
