BLM Meetings Scheduled in Rock Springs, Wyoming

The American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign sent a notice regarding BLM meetings. If you are in the area and can attend, contact them for more information.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming Resource Advisory Council (RAC) is meeting in Rock Springs, Wyoming on February 3-5, 2016. This citizen advisory board has within its jurisdiction all of Wyoming’s 16 wild horse Herd Management Areas.

The RAC advises and makes recommendations to the BLM on public land management. These meetings are open to the public and provide the public an opportunity to make comments to the citizen-based council. We encourage you to attend and provide comments if you can! AWHPC is submitting comments, asking for the RAC’s support for humane reform of the BLM wild horse program and fairer treatment for Wyoming’s last remaining mustangs.
