Around 70% of the HMA lies within the Wilson Creek allotment, maybe a bit more.
The management plan allows 210 wild horses on 659,188 public acres, or 0.3 wild horses per thousand public acres.
Beyond that, rangeland health will suffer according to your faithful public servants.
The allotment offers 47,682 active AUMs on 1,065,261 public acres, equivalent to 3.7 wild horses per thousand public acres, 12 times higher than the rate that assures rangeland health.
Maybe that’s why it’s in the Improve category, with 18% of the permitted use in the suspended column.
