The project description says overuse by wild horses has resulted in the almost complete loss of riparian vegetation and the compaction of soils at three springs in the northern part of the HMA, but the CX indicates two.
The exclosures will either be steel pipe attached to posts pounded into the ground or steel buck and rail sitting on the surface.
Little Nettles Spring is on the eastern edge of the Eldorado Canyon Allotment and Rose Spring is in the Clifton Allotment.
