BLM co.mpletes. High Rock roundup

The Bureau of Land Man-
agement completed rounding
up excess wild horses from
the High Rock Complex of
herd management areas in
northwest Nevada. In the
roundup, 1,334 wild horses
were gathered as part of the
effort to return populations to
sustainable levels.
Bureau officials will con-
duct an aerial population sur-
vey within the next week to
confirm the numbers of wild
horses remaining on the
range and will release some
animals back onto the range
to maintain the populations
of 258 to 451 wild horses in the
Bitner, Nut Mountain, Fox
Hog, High Rock and Wall
Canyon herd management ar-
eas. Members of the public
will be invited to observe
these releases.
Some post-gather popula-
tion management, including
bait trapping and removal of
horses living outside of herd
management areas, may be
undertaken this winter. If the
post-gather aerial population
survey shows herd manage-
ment areas to be over their
appropriate management lev-
els, the BLM could capture
and remove some additional
animals. The public will be
notified of any additional ac-
tions.
Mares returned to the
range will be treated with a
fertility control drug to slow
growth of the wild herds.
"This was a large and chal-
lenging project, and we are
pleased to have completed it
while accomplishing our ob-
jectives of safety, humane
treatment, public access and
transparency," said Nancy
Haug, BLM's Northern Cali-
fornia district manager.
"Achieving the appropriate
management levels will help
ensure that the rangelands re-
main healthy along with wild
horse herds, wildlife and per-
mitted livestock."
Wild horses removed from
the range will be available for
adoption at the BLM Litch-
field Corrals near Susanville
via the internet and at wild
horse and burro adoption
events in various locations
across the nation beginning
in January. Dates, locations
and details will be an-
nounced.
Older wild horses will be
housed in long-term pastures
in the Midwest where they re-
tain their wild status and pro-
tection.
Complete roundup statis-
tics, including veterinary re-
ports, are available online at
blm .gov/ca/highrock.
The BLM protects wild
horses and burros and con-
trols their populations under
provisions of the Wild and
Free Roaming Horses and
Burros Act. The law recog-
nizes the animals as "living
symbols of the historic and pi-
oneer spirit of the West," and
requires that they be man-
aged as part of a "thriving
natural ecological balance on
the range."
The High R()ck Complex,
managed by BLM-California's
Surprise lield Office, is part of
the Tri-State Coordination
Area which involves the BLM's
California. Nevada and Oregon
state offices and the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service's Sheldon-
Hart Mountain wildlife
refuges. The agencies are
working together to improve
management of wild and feral
horses in northwest Nevada
and southeastern Oregon.
"We recognize that many
people value our nation's wild
horses and burros, and we
share that appreciation,"
Haug said. "With completion
of this project, wild horses
and burros will enjoy healthy
rangeland habitat or human
care off the range."
Lassen man publishes state wetlands book
Frank Hall, retired Cali-
fornia Department of Fish
and Game Wildlife.Biol0gist
and Lassen County resident
for the last 28 years, has just
completed a comprehensive
history of California's wet-
lands.
Titled "They Came to
Shoot -- A History of Cali-
fornia Duck Clubs and Wet-
land Conservation,." the 500-
page book includes a chapter
for each of the state's wet-
land areas which were pre-
viously published in "Cali-
fornia Waterfowl," the maga-
zine of California Waterfowl
Association, a non-profit
conservation organization.
Entirely funded by grants
and donors, the book was
completed by Hall after more
than three years of research.
The basic history of over
3,000 duck clubs, both his-
toric and currently active, is
included as detailed listings
at the end of each chapter. A
CD with 12 historic and mod-
ern maps is also included
with the book. More than 100
black and white historic
photographs and 72 color
photos are displayed. The
book printing was limited to
500 copies.
The book is a comprehen-
sive look at historical water-
fowl hunting and habitat in
California. It is divided into
14 chapters which cover
each of the state's major wet-
land regions.
Additional chapters pro-
vide a look at some historic
vessels used in duck hunting
on San Francisco Bay, Su-
isun Marsh and the Sacra-
mento-San Joaquin Delta.
The book shows how tens
of thousands of acres of
coastal wetlands and hun-
dreds of duck clubs were
obliterated from coastal Los
Angeles and Orange County
as Well as the San Francisco
Bay Area, why some marsh-
es were protected from devel-
opment, and the role of duck
clubs in the preservation of
wetlands through the critical
1920s and 1930s, before public
funding for the conservation
of California's ma;shes.
Meticulously researched,
filled with data on historic
duck clubs, and illustrated
with historic hunting
scenes, "They Came to
Shoot" fills a 10ng-needed
niche in the history, of Cali-
fornia's marshes.
A book signing by the au-
thor will be held at Margie's
Book Nook in Uptown Su-
sanville from 1 to 3 p.m. on
Saturday, Dec. 10.
