The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Rawlins Field Office is launching a 30-day public scoping period prior to preparing an environmental analysis for a proposed wild horse ecosanctuary approximately 30 miles west of Laramie, Wyo.
Located in the Centennial Valley, the 4,000-acre, family-owned Deerwood Ranch has applied to provide long-term, humane care for up to 400 excess wild horses gathered from Western public rangelands. Public lands are not included in this proposal.
If the proposal is approved, the BLM would sponsor the ecosanctuary at a funding level comparable to what the Bureau pays for the care of excess wild horses on long-term pastures in the Midwest. The ecosanctuary would be publicly accessible and provide ecotourism opportunities. In addition, the partnership agreement would contain a fundraising component that would defray costs for operating the sanctuary and save taxpayer dollars.
Public comments are most useful when they are specific, cite additional relevant issues, and/or determine the extent of those issues.
