BLM, FWS Agreement Enhances Management of Wild and Feral Horses and Burros

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that will further improve management of wild horses and burros on BLM-managed public lands in northwest Nevada, northeast California and south central Oregon and feral horses and burros on FWS-managed lands within the Sheldon-Hart Mountain National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) Complex.

The wild horses and burros managed by the BLM are defined by the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971.
