The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Caliente Field Office is seeking public comment on the Silver King HMAP Preliminary Environmental Assessment (EA) and proposed herd management area plan for the Silver King Herd Management Area (HMA) in eastern Nevada. Current wild horse populations exceed the established appropriate management level of 60-128 animals. As of March 2026, there are an estimated 595 wild horses in the area. Chronic herd overpopulation damages habitats and can lead to starvation and thirst for the animals. The Preliminary EA is available for review in the Documents tab on the upper left of this page.
Written comments may be emailed to [email protected] (preferred); or delivered to the BLM Caliente Field Office, Attn: Tyler Reese, 1400 Front Street, PO Box 237, Caliente, NV 89008. The comment period will close May 29, 2026.
For more information, contact Tyler Reese, Wild Horse and Burro Specialist, at 775-251-5250 or [email protected].
