As the field manager of the Bureau of Land Management s Moab Field Office, Gaddis-Wyatt had worked to ensure that Birthing Rock, otherwise known as Birthing Scene Petroglyph, as well as thousands of other unique archeological sites were preserved for future generations.
Despite the signage and fencing surrounding the large boulder to discourage vandalism or graffiti, there wasn t enough to stop what happened to it.
Now, as the cleanup of the vandalism begins, Gaddis-Wyatt said she s mostly optimistic about the future of the defaced petroglyph; still, she said the archeological site will still never be the same, even though parts of the site weren t defaced and people will be able to view the ancient artwork in the future.

Offensive language and imagery were recently found scrawled over petroglyph panels on Birthing Rock, a piece of ancient human history the Bureau of Land Management estimates is at least 1,000 years old. The BLM is asking the public not to attempt to remove the vandalism as they are currently working with professional conservators to repair the site. This incident is the second, very public vandalism of petroglyph panels on Moab’s public lands in recent weeks. Plus, extended wildfire seasons are a reality across the West. Our radio partners have more about the decisive actions communities can take to protect themselves from those fires.
