The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) of Wyoming invites the public to its annual statewide hearing on the use of helicopters and motorized vehicles in wild horse management operations.
The hearing is hosted this year by the High Desert District, and takes place at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, June 6, at the Rawlins Field Office, at 1300 N. Third Street in Rawlins.
The BLM requests interested parties attend the hearing to share their views, comments and suggestions regarding the use of helicopters and motorized vehicles in the management of wild horses throughout Wyoming from June 2013 to May 2014.
Management actions include wild horse removals, aerial census and population distribution flights of herd management areas. Motorized vehicles, such as semi-trucks, trailers and pickup trucks are going to be used to transport wild horses. BLM Wyoming plans to use helicopters to help gather wild, free-roaming horses from public lands in 2013 and 2014.
Comments made during the formal statewide public hearing will be recorded, and summaries will be available upon request. Before including your address, phone number, email or other personal identifying information in your comment, please be aware your entire comment, including your personal identifying information, may be made publicly available at any time. While you may request we withhold your personal information from public view, we cannot guarantee we will be able to do so.
