The Proposed Action, discussed in Section 2.2 of the Draft EA, would immediately remove wild horses outside the WHT, using helicopters and/or baited traps.
The current population is thought to be 699 according to today’s news release.
The project area covers BLM and Forest Service lands around Mono Lake, some of which are subject to permitted grazing.
Although the announcement seeks comments on the Environmental Assessment, the project ties them to a cover letter dated May 28.
The participation period closes June 26.
