The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Nevada’s Elko District Office Wells Field Office has released the decision record for the Wood Hills area wild horse water/bait trapping gather.

The ultimate goal of the gather is to remove all excess wild horses in the Wood Hills area in Elko County over a period of five years and reach a population of zero utilizing bait and water trapping. This action is based on limited water and/or forage availability to adequately support the current population of wild horses and on the adverse impacts to range resources being caused by wild horses concentrating on site specific areas within the project area.

The initial gather is scheduled to begin around July 15 and will take about 30 days to complete. The primary gather site is proposed to be at an unnamed spring located on public land in T. 36N, R. 64E. Section 4. Additional sites, on both public and private lands, could be used as necessary to complete the proposed action.

The determination of National Environmental Policy Act adequacy, finding of no significant impact, and decision record documents are available online at https://1.usa.gov/1GDnFvf
