BLM Takes New Approaches To Wild Horse Management

Wikimedia

It's part of the imagery of the American West that wild horses still roam the landscape.  But the beauty and freedom belie the ongoing debate about how best to manage the herds. 

The federal Bureau of Land Management is responsible for managing wild horses and burros, and BLM is trying a few new techniques. 

Those include an adoption event coming up in mid-April in South Central Oregon in partnership with Beaty Butte Wild Horses.  Reps from BLM and the wild horse group join us with details.
