We’ve had some big doin’s out in Spring Creek Basin recently.
Remember when our BLM folks (herd manager Mike Jensen and Tres Rios Field Office Manager Connie Clementson) updated our herd management area plan last year? Remember the two new water catchments that were proposed (and approved) in that EA?
Our first tanks for the first of those water catchments are in the ground. 🙂 That’s phase one of the project; phase two is coming. It will take me a bit to consolidate several days of work into a nice little post to detail their work. That’s coming, too. But just in case you wondered what the heck our BLM guys are doing out in Spring Creek Basin these days … this is a bit of an answer. 🙂
And in best of all news, we actually got a decent drizzle of rain in Disappointment Valley yesterday! No, the catchment isn’t at the point of catching that rain, but soon. … Hopefully very, very soon … !

This is great news that the new catchment is in and now lets ask for more rain.
Fill those tanks! Thanks BLM for the work!
Glad BLM is working for the horses in your area! Hoping for more moisture!
Is there ANY other HA or HMA that has this type of actual hands-on management? With BLM employees that really care about the wild horses – because I’m not seeing it. This little herd is so fortunate to be where they are. And to have the oversight of someone who cares so much (you). If only…..
