The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is hosting an online auction in September where people can adopt a wild horse or burro. The BLM is responsible for the management of approximately 245 million acres of public land, mainly located in 12 western states, including Alaska. This is done on behalf of the American people, aiming to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation’s public lands for current and future generations to use and enjoy.

In addition to the surface land, the BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate across the nation. The upcoming online auction forms part of their efforts to manage the populations of wild horses and burros on these lands.
The September online corral auction provides an opportunity for the public to engage with the BLM’s mission. By adopting a wild horse or burro, individuals can contribute to the health and diversity of these public lands, while also providing a home for these majestic creatures.
