BLM authorizes burro gather in Inyo and San Bernardino counties
RIDGECREST, Calif. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Ridgecrest Field Office has approved the gather and removal of up to 939 wild burros from the Centennial, Panamint, and Slate herd management areas over a ten-year period to address resource impacts and reduce the risk of burro-vehicle collisions. The gathered burros will be placed for adoption or sale.
“The BLM gathers burros from public lands to not only safeguard the health of the animals but to protect the land as well,” said Carl Symons, Ridgecrest Field Manager. “Left unchecked, burro populations can increase rapidly resulting in damage to rangelands.”
