Announcements

EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. – A flock of nearly 900 sheep will arrive in early May at the Bureau of Land Management’s Cronan Ranch, and a flock of nearly 600 sheep will arrive in mid-May at Magnolia Ranch, to graze invasive weeds and reduce wildfire threat. Sheep herders will manage the flocks, moving them across the grassy slopes and meadows with assistance from herding dogs and livestock protection dogs. The sheep will be grazing behind temporary fencing to allow the sheep herder to keep the sheep in an area long enough to have the vegetation uniformly grazed and/or trampled down.

REDDING, Calif. – With summer camping season just around the corner, the Bureau of Land Management is announcing that Trinity River campgrounds along State Route 299 will open Friday, May 3. These campgrounds are first-come, first-served. There are no reservations.

The Bureau of Land Management will offer up to 20 wild horses and 10 wild burros for adoption Saturday and Sunday, May 11 and 12, at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley. The animals are from ranges in northeast California and northwest Nevada.
