The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board will meet Sept. 2-3 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to discuss issues relating to the management and protection of wild horses and burros on Western public rangelands.

The meeting will take place Sept. 2 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Sept. 3 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., local time, at the the Sheraton Oklahoma City Downtown Hotel. The meeting will be live-streamed at https://www.blm.gov/live/.

The agenda of the upcoming meeting can be found in the Aug. 3 Federal Register.

The Advisory Board provides input and advice to the BLM as it carries out its responsibilities under the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. The law mandates the protection and management of these free-roaming animals in a manner that ensures healthy herds at levels consistent with the land’s capacity to support them. According to the BLM’s latest official estimate, approximately 58,150 wild horses and burros roam on BLM-managed rangelands in 10 Western states
