More Options for Salt River Horses?

Appendix 5 in the 2018 report on forage availability said the Goldfield, Bartlett, St. Clair and Sunflower allotments are most similar in vegetation, soil and topography to the Salt River horse zone.

Bartlett and St. Clair are vacant according to the ArcGIS Viewer.

Together, they could support 617 wild horses.

Why aren’t the advocates in talks with the Forest Service to access those parcels?

The status of the base properties is unknown.

The protected habitat, described in the 2020 post, lies mostly in the Goldfield allotment but the northern end is in Sunflower.
