The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming’s Lander Field Office is requesting public input prior to analyzing a proposed wild horse gather in the North Lander Wild Horse Complex.

The North Lander Complex is located in southeast Fremont County and is made up of the Conant Creek, Dishpan Butte, Muskrat Basin and Rock Creek Mountain herd management areas. Population surveys conducted in August 2016 found approximately 1,026 horses within the North Lander Complex. The appropriate management level (AML) of the complex, which is the population that can be supported by the public land in balance with other multiple uses of those lands, is 320 to 535 horses.

The proposed operation would include gathering wild horses and conducting fertility control treatments to bring the population of the complex back to its AML. The anticipated date of the gather has not yet been determined.

Public input is valuable early in the process and will enable the BLM to develop a well-informed environmental assessment
