Wild Horses to Be Gathered by Helicopter

The Inyo National Forest plans to round up hundreds of wild horses outside their designated territory using helicopters and motorized vehicles—starting in 2026—to prevent environmental damage, safety risks, and property conflicts. A virtual public hearing is happening June 8th at 3:30 PM on Microsoft Teams, where attendees get two minutes to voice opinions specifically on motorized tools. Email comments are also accepted until 4:30 PM that day. All feedback helps shape future management under the 1971 Wild Horse Act, with rounded-up horses eventually going to adoption or sale.
