Red Desert Complex Herd Management Area Plan Revision and Wild Horse Gather

The Coalition of Local Governments submitted comments on the BLM's scoping notice for the Red Desert Complex Herd Management Area Plan revision and wild horse gather. The comments support the proposed action to gather excess wild horses and recommend comprehensive monitoring, post-gather census, and plan updates. This signals upcoming BLM contracts for animal gathering, monitoring, census, environmental assessment, and possibly construction of temporary holding facilities or infrastructure related to wild horse management in Sweetwater County.
