Project Description

What's New

The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public comments on proposed management of wild horses across three herd management areas collectively referred to as the Eagle Complex. The Caliente Field Office manages the Eagle area in Nevada and the Cedar City Field Office manages the Mount Elinor and Choke Cherry areas in Utah. Current wild horse populations exceed the established appropriate management level of 145-265 for the complex. As of March 2026, there are an estimated 2,093 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 near the top of this page.

Comments may be emailed to [email protected] or delivered to the BLM Caliente Field Office, Attn: Tyler Reese, 1400 Front Street, Caliente, NV 89008. The comment period will close July 27, 2026. 

For more information, please contact the BLM Caliente Field Office at 775-251-5250.
