2023 Alamo Nuisance Wild Burro Removal

The Bureau of Land Management’s Colorado River District Office plans to begin the gathering of nuisance burros starting in late June 2023. The burros will be gathered via bait trapping, water trapping, or both. Temporary traps on private lands will be set up and monitored. Upon completion of efforts, BLM personnel will remove the panels, hay, and water. For the purpose of this gather no burros will be treated with fertility control.

Purpose of Gather:

The purpose of the gather is to is to remove nuisance burros that are damaging private property and creating a public safety hazard.

Details of Gather:

The BLM plans to remove up to 150 wild burros from private property near the Alamo Lake area in Mohave and La Paz counties, Arizona, between late June and September 2023. 

Public Observation:

There will be no public viewing opportunities for this gather due to the nature of the gather.

Adoption Information:

Animals removed from the Alamo Mountain HMA will be made available for adoption or purchase at Florence Wild Horse and Burro Training and Off-range Corral through the Wild Horse and Burro Adoption and Sales Program.

Background:

The BLM manages free-roaming wild horses and burros on public lands as part of its multiple-use mission, with the goal of supporting healthy wild horses and burros on healthy public rangelands. The BLM is responsible for determining and maintaining appropriate management levels (AML) for each herd and works to achieve that population target through a variety of management processes, including limiting reproduction in some herds through the use of birth control and gathers that remove excess animals from the range.
