The project area spans about 304,705 acres in Nevada’s Lyon and Churchill counties. According to a 2024 survey, BLM estimates that 518 wild horses currently occupy the area, far exceeding the appropriate management level of seven to 10 horses.
The agency proposes gathering and removing excess horses and encourages public comments by May 12 at tinyurl.com/4nkhsb3r.
