BLM Releases Deerwood Ranch Wild Horse Ecosanctuary Environmental Assessment

Serena Baker with the Bureau of Land Management Rawlins Field Office says they are launching a public comment period on an environmental assessment analyzing a proposed wild horse ecosanctuary on the Deerwood Ranch, approximately 30 miles west of Laramie, Wyo.






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 partnership agreement would contain an ecotourism component which would defray costs for operating the sanctuary and save taxpayer dollars through fundraising.






The environmental assessment analyzes the Proposed Action and the No Action Alternative and is available on the BLM website. There is a reminder that before you include your personal information, you can request that the BLM with hold that information, but they cannot guarantee they will do so.
