Wild Horses across the range in the West are likely the most significant wildlife issue facing wildlife and habitat across the western range. Art Lawson, Director of Shoshone and Arapaho Fish and Game in Wyoming shares the amazing efforts they’ve put in removing feral horses in the Wind River Valley. The council, the community and the team, facing a lack of funding, rounded up almost 7,800 horses and restored acres of habitat in the process, showing what happens when you manage problem species accordingly.
