BLM Unveils Plan to Protect Wild Horses and Restore Nevada‑Utah Rangelands

The Bureau of Land Management announced a management plan that will protect wild horses and restore the rangeland ecosystem across parts of Nevada and Utah. The plan includes habitat improvements, population monitoring, and collaborative efforts with local stakeholders to balance wildlife needs with land productivity. The BLM oversees roughly 245 million acres of public land in 12 western states and also manages 700 million acres of subsurface mineral estate, emphasizing its role in maintaining healthy public lands for current and future users. Hunters can expect continued access to these lands, with the agency committing to sustain the diversity and productivity of the range while addressing horse management concerns.
