The meetings begin June 6, in Bakersfield and the Red Bluff meet- ing is set for 6-8 p.m. Tuesday June 14 at the Red Bluff Community and Senior Center, 1500 S. Jackson St. This project was developed in cooperation with the California Rangeland Conservation Coalition, and focuses on protecting rangelands surrounding California’s Central Val- ley through conservation easements. The purpose of the meetings is to receive input from local residents, public agencies, non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders regarding issues they would like to BLM Continued from page 1A Reno Rodeo June 16-25, billed as the fourth-richest rodeo on the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Associa- tion. Animal health officials in Utah and Nevada are among those who are opti- mistic the worst of the out- break already has run its course. ‘‘There’s not really any- thing earth-shaking that’s happened to change what we’re thinking,’’ Dr. Bruce King, Utah’s state veteri- narian, said. ‘‘If we can get through the end of the month ... we will feel com- fortable about holding equine events again.’’ But groups including the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign have joined the call for ‘‘an abundance of caution ... because of the potential catastrophic consequences that could occur if the virus spreads to the wild horse herds.’’ ‘‘Given the serious nature of the virus and the already diminished popula- tion of mustangs in the west, the BLM needs to act quickly to ensure that the virus does not spread,’’ campaign spokeswoman Deniz Bolbol said. Hazard said there are a number of ways a wild horse could contract the disease even if it didn’t have direct contact with an infected animal. For exam- ple, domestic horse owners are permitted to have hay on the ground for their horses at campgrounds on BLM lands, national forests and other U.S. lands, she said. If an infected domestic horse ate that hay, mus- tangs that frequent camp- grounds and other equine recreational areas may move in to eat the contami- nated hay leftovers and be exposed to the disease, Hazard said. ‘‘Since EHV-1 infec- tions can be fatal,’’ she said, ‘‘should such a scenario occur, the impacts on wild horse populations could be disastrous.’’ see addressed during the develop- ment of the environmental assess- ment for the proposed project. The service has identified four preliminary focal areas in the foothills surrounding the Central Val- ley and is considering establishing a new easement program for these areas. The proposed project comple- ments the efforts of several organiza- tions that are acquiring easements within the proposed focal areas. Lands within the proposed Cali- fornia Foothills Legacy Area are pre- dominantly private working range- lands that include a rich and varied landscape of grasslands, oak savan- nah and oak woodlands. Other important habitats imbedded within this landscape include vernal pools, riparian areas and wetlands. California rangelands are critical- ly important to migratory birds, threatened and endangered species and are among the least protected habitats in the state. California’s oak savanna and grasslands support the highest diversity and density of win- tering raptors anywhere in North America. A total of 197 federally-listed threatened and endangered species have documented occurrences within California’s grassland, oak savanna and oak woodland habitats-more list- ed species than any other state in the U.S. outside Hawaii.
