The BLM is seeking public comment on a proposed herd management area plan for the Blue Wing Complex in Pershing County.
The area is about 65 miles northeast of Reno and spans nearly 1.2 million acres, including the Kamma Mountains, Lava Beds, Blue Wing Mountains, Seven Troughs, and Shawave Mountains herd management areas as well as the Selenite Range, Antelope Range, Trinity Range, Truckee Range, and Eugene Mountains herd areas.
Proposed implementation efforts will include a range of alternatives for long-term management of wild horses and burros while maintaining the population within the appropriate management level over multiple years.
Additional information, including the preliminary environmental assessment, is available at the BLM National NEPA Register, where comments may be submitted through the ‘Participate Now’ option.
The public comment period will close on June 4, 2025.
