Issue: The Winecup Gamble Ranch's proposal to develop a wild horses sanctuary and other horse related services in Elko County, NV.
Priority: IMMEDIATE
Public Workshop Notice:
The Lyon County Advisory Board to Manage Wildlife will be holding a
workshop session on Monday evening, December 7th, regarding the Winecup
Gamble wild horse sanctuary proposal. Gary Weisbart, Manager of the
Winecup Gamble ranch will explain the details involved in this 1 million
acre sanctuary proposal and provide the range science data used to
formulate Winecup's management strategies. During the "workshop"
portion of the meeting, citizens present can ask questions about the
proposal and also make comments.
The meeting will be held in the commons (multi-purpose room) of the
Silver Stage High School, 3755 W. Spruce (South off US-50,) in Silver
Springs, NV.
Please note that the meeting will commence at 7.00 PM (instead of the
Board's usual earlier meeting time) in order to provide enough time for
persons attending the National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board to
travel to Silver Springs.
No matter how folks stand on the issue of wild horse sanctuaries and
alternative habitats, this meeting will provide an opportunity for all
interested parties to learn about a significantly researched proposal
and have their questions answered. Please note that the purpose of this
meeting / workshop is to provide public access to information and to
replace rumor and speculation with facts and dialogue. The Board is not
scheduled to make any recommendations on the project at this time.
Members of the public are encouraged to interact, so long as the
proceedings remain orderly.
