A new website intended to increase adoptions and sales of captured wild horses and burros was launched recently by the Bureau of Land Management. The site replaces a 10-year-old system with a “modern, stream-lined interface” to make it easier to select an available animal.
The Online Corral (ONC) is part of BLM’s ongoing effort to find permanent homes for animals in taxpayer-subsidized facilities. There are thousands of wild horses and burros that were removed from public land now living in short-term corrals and on long-term pastures across the country.
There are also about 82,000 wild horses and burros on pub-lic land and the BLM says that population is more than triple what the land can support along with wildlife and grazing.

This summer, a University of Nevada, Reno archaeological team will “re-visit” the Leonard Rock-shelter near Lovelock. Updated excavation and radiocarbon dating methods may confirm the site was
occupied even earlier in time by some of the first residents of North America.
The project will test a previous claim the site contains evidence of the “Clovis” people who scientists believe were the ancestors of mod-ern Native American tribes and lived around 13,000 years ago. If the claim is true, it would increase Leonard Rockshelter’s scientific significance.
