ELY, Nev. – The Bureau of Land Management today approved the Final Pancake Complex Wild Horse Gather & Herd Management Plan for how wild horses will be managed within the Pancake Complex, which includes the Jakes Wash Herd Area, Monte Cristo Wild Horse Territory, and the Pancake and Sand Springs West Herd Management Areas.
The areas are in central Nevada approximately 30 miles west of Ely and include nearly 1,228,739 acres of public and private lands.
“This decision will help to ensure that we maintain a healthy wild horse population at the established appropriate management level of 336-638 wild horses within the Pancake Complex,” said Bristlecone Field Manager Melanie Peterson.
Planning documents, including the environmental assessment, decision record, and finding of no significant impact are available at the BLM National NEPA Register.
