The Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board will conduct a public workshop and hold a regular meeting in June at a two-day event in Denver. The June 14 workshop will provide the public with an opportunity to express their views, comments, and suggestions regarding Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar's wild horse initiative, which he and BLM Director Bob Abbey announced last October. The board will hold a regular meeting on wild horse management issues on June 15.

The public workshop and board meeting will take place at the Magnolia Hotel, 818 17th Street, Denver, Colo. The workshop is slated to run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (MDT), while the board meeting is set for 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (MDT).

On June 14, the public will be able to provide feedback and input concerning Secretary Salazar's initiative. Initiative details can be accessed at the BLM's website.

On June 15, the public may address the advisory board at an appropriate point in the agenda, which is expected to be about 3 p.m. Individuals who want to make a statement should register with the BLM by noon on the day of the meeting at the meeting site. Depending on the number of speakers, the board may limit the length of presentations, set at three minutes for previous meetings. Speakers, who should address the specific wild horse- and burro-related topics listed on the agenda, must submit a written statement of their comments, which may be sent electronically to the BLM by accessing their feedback form. Alternatively, comments may be mailed to the National Wild Horse and Burro Program, WO-260, Attention: Ramona DeLorme, 1340 Financial Boulevard, Reno, Nev., 89502-7147. Written comments pertaining to the advisory board meeting should be submitted no later than close of business June 7.
