BLM seeking public comments on proposals to manage wild horse population in northern Washoe County
ALTURAS, Calif. – The Bureau of Land Management today released for public review and comment a preliminary environmental assessment analyzing a range of alternatives for managing wild horses and burros on public lands in northern Washoe County, Nev.
“Our goal is to establish and maintain healthy wild horses on healthy lands in balance with other authorized range users,” said Craig Drake, manager of the BLM Applegate Field Office. “The wild horse and burro populations in six herd management areas within the Surprise Complex have grown well beyond the population range established in our land-use plan. This EA examines the environmental impacts of several approaches that would reduce the overpopulation of wild herds over a 10-year period. We also analyze the impacts of taking no action.”
