WE NEED YOUR HELP: Cantilever signs like this one are iconic features at MDC areas. Unfortunately, they often fall victim to vandalism and theft, wasting taxpayer dollars on repairs and replacements.

Recently, two large wooden signs were stolen from the Thurnau Conservation Area in Holt County. If you have any information about the individuals responsible for damaging or stealing property, please contact Operation Game Thief at 800-392-1111.
