The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Colorado is seeking public comments concerning proposed gathers of excess wild horses in areas managed by the BLM White River Field Office, in Meeker, Colorado.

The field office is proposing to gather excess wild horses in the West Douglas herd area (HA) and the Piceance-East Douglas herd management area (HMA). The Piceance-East Douglas HMA currently has 377 wild horses, and its appropriate management level is between 135 and 235 wild horses. The West Douglas HA currently has 365 wild horses but is not intended to be managed for wild horse populations. The BLM is considering gathering up to 167 wild horses in these areas.

The BLM is seeking public input on any additional alternatives or issues that should be considered when evaluating the proposed gather operations in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

The documents outlining identified issues and gather operations will be available at the White River Field Office at 220 E Market Street and online
