The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board will meet for three days in September in Arlington, Va., to discuss issues relating to the management, protection, and control of wild horses and burros on Western public rangelands.

The meeting, which will focus on the June 2013 report by the National Academy of Sciences (titled “Using Science to Improve the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program: A Way Forward”), will take place Sept. 9, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Sept. 10, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Sept. 11, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

The National Academy of Sciences report, which was commissioned by the BLM, called for several management actions, including the more widespread use of a fertility control vaccine known as PZP (or porcine zona pellucida) on mares.

The upcoming Advisory Board meeting will be held at the Key Bridge Marriott, 1401 Lee Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22209, telephone number 703-524-6400. The agenda of the meeting can be found in the Aug. 1 Federal Register
