Range Activities.
2007 has been another severe drought year in Nevada. We have spent hundreds of hours investigating and monitoring range conditions and working to preserve viable range habitat for free-roaming horses and wildlife by repairing springs and removing hazardous materials.

Wild Horse Activities.
LRTC's horse activities on the range include inventorying and cataloguing wild horse bands, investigating wild horse deaths, providing state and BLM approved emergency water supplies for wild horses, preventing crimes against wild horses, and locating illegal "enticements" that lure wild bands into developed areas and often result in their removal from the range.
