Wild burros within a bait trap.

2022 Outside Cibola-Trigo Nuisance Gather (Yuma Proving Grounds)

The BLM plans to remove 80 nuisance wild burros from private and Yuma Proving Grounds (YPG) land within the Cibola-Trigo Herd Management Area (HMA) between the months of August 2022 and September 2022.

Purpose of Gather:

The purpose of this gather is to remove nuisance burros that are damaging private property, creating a public safety hazard for motorists along roadways and creating a food safety issue on local farm fields. The Bureau of Land Management has received complaints from private landowners and Yuma Proving Grounds (YPG), pertaining to numerous wild burros that are creating hazardous conditions to the public near highways and public health and safety issues.

Details of Gather:

The BLM plans to remove 80 nuisance wild burros from private and YPG land within the Cibola-Trigo Herd Management Area (HMA) between the months of August 2022 and September 2022 via bait trapping, water trapping, or both. A contractor and BLM staff will set temporary traps on private and YPG lands. They will remove the panels, hay, and manure once the trapping is complete. For the purpose of this gather no burros will be treated with fertility control. The Yuma Field Office will oversee all trapping operations.

Public Observation:

There will be no public viewing opportunities for this gather due to the nature of the gather.

Adoption Information:

How to Adopt

Animals removed from the Cibola-Trigo HMA will be made available for adoption at the Florence Wild Horse and Burro Training and Off-Range Corral in Florence, Arizona, through the Wild Horse and Burro Adoption Program. Those that are not adopted will be cared for in off-range pastures, where they retain their “wild” status and protection under the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burro Act.

Background:

The Cibola-Trigo HMA is in southwestern Arizona, north of Yuma. The area parallels the eastern shoreline of the Colorado River for approximately 60 miles, from Yuma to Ehrenberg. The estimated population for this HMA as of March 2022 is 378 wild burros based on various analytical population count data and reports.
