The Bureau of Land Management said Thursday it is immediately implementing a mask requirement for employees, visitors, partners and contractors in all BLM facilities and buildings. Also, masks are required outdoors on public lands where physical distancing is not feasible.
“Ensuring people use masks when physical distancing is not an option and washing hands is the best way to stop the spread of COVID-19,” said Mike Nedd, BLM deputy director of operations. “Getting outside and enjoying our public lands is a great way to be active during the pandemic. We want to make sure our employees and visitors remain safe while recreating on BLM-managed land.”
Masks are also required on BLM-managed public lands when physical distancing cannot be maintained, including narrow or busy trails, overlooks, and historic homes.
In a press release, BLM said the move is to "protect the health of those who live, work and visit BLM-managed public lands and facilities, and in support of President Biden’s Executive Order on Protecting the Federal Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing."

LOL!
Of course it’s highly convenient this year that masks are now “required”. Perfect cover for those who ALWAYS wear masks to hide the shameful things they do.
Yes! Certainly these wonderful people have come to the realization that the only safe way to burn down family businesses, destroy and loot public and private property, and kill innocent people... is with a mask on! They are doing their part, because we are all in this together!
Bureau of Land Management...
Yours was my first thought also.
Ooooops! Not “Black Lives Matter”, but the “Bureau of Land Management”. So, what is the difference? Who cares?
Acronyms drive me insane! BLM, PA, ...
Yeah, I thought this was how to prep for a non-violence protest arson riot.
You make a good point. Haven’t thought of this angle in the bigger picture. Maybe I am a conspiracy nut now, but the mask mandate can be looked at as “we all wear masks, anyway”. There’s a Twilight Zone episode about this very thing. It’s one of hubby’s fav episodes.
I fell for it.
Me Too!
Cliven is not amused.
