BLM Seeks Wild Horse and Burro Board Member

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is requesting nominations from the public to fill a vacancy on its National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board. The individual selected will represent the Public Interest category and serve out a term that expires on July 8, 2008.

The nine-member Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board advises the BLM and the Forest Service on the management, protection, and control of the more than 28,100 wild horses and burros that roam public lands administered by those agencies.

The Board also oversees the popular Wild Horse and Burro Adoption program that has resulted in the adoption of over 169,000 wild horses and burros since its inception in 1973.
