On April 25, Senator John Hoeven of North Dakota announced that the National Park Service has agreed to maintain the herd of wild horses at Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
A press release stated, “Senator John Hoeven today announced that he has secured a commitment from the National Park Service (NPS) to maintain the wild horses at Theodore Roosevelt National Park (TRNP). The NPS will immediately terminate its proposed removal of horses at TRNP under the environmental assessment (EA) process initiated in 2022, and as a result, the existing management plan for the wild horses will remain in place. This will allow for a healthy herd of wild horses to be maintained at the park, managed in a way to support genetic diversity among the herd and preserve the park’s natural resources.”
