Wild Mustang Observations and Discussion

  • Tuesday, April 11, 2017, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Mustangs and the American West. National symbol or ecological disaster? There are currently over 67,000 wild horses on public lands in the western states of the US, and thousands are removed from those lands each year. However, there are also over 45,000 horses being held in short or long term facilities, and that population keeps growing as well. Round them up, leave them alone, kill them, sterilize them, adopt them, train them? How do we decide? You are invited to an information session with Elaine Larsen PhD from Skidmore College and a group of students who will spend a week in Nevada and California studying wild horses. There will be informational posters and the opportunity to talk to the students about their observations and what they have learned about the history, present, and future of these living emblems of the American West. Tuesday, April 11th at 6pm at CCE Saratoga, 50 West High Street Ballston Spa NY 12020. No cost but please pre-register with Carter at co263@cornell.edu.
