Placitas Wildlife Corridor

Dear Neighbors,

The history of Placitas includes the free-roaming herd of wild mustangs that have been here for many decades. They are part of the heritage of New Mexico and of this wonderful community of Placitas.

The freedom of the wild horses is continually threatened by various agencies and individuals who may not understand the importance of maintaining the legacy of this wild herd. This part of our heritage needs preservation and protection. We are taking a pro-active measure by compiling a list of names of Placitas residents who want to enable these horses to continue to be free-roaming.

We are asking that willing residents agree to have their lands be part of a "wildlife corridor", benefiting the wild horses and other wildlife of the area. In such, we can establish a precedence of agreement that will assist us when interacting with the BLM or Livestock Board. We urge everyone to talk to their neighbors, gather names, respectfully discuss this position, and consider signing a petition to help this effort.

You may sign the petition online by going to whoanm.org and to the pertinent link. If you prefer, you may clip and return the following petition and any comments or concerns to: Laura Robbins, 16 Dos Hermanitas, Placitas, NM 87043 or call 867-3189 for further information.

Thank you for your support,

Laura Robbins

I, the undersigned Placitas resident, am in favor of maintaining a voluntary wild horse and wildlife corridor in the north/northeastern section of Placitas. I agree to allow the wild horses and other wildlife passage across my property. I understand that should the horses become a nuisance or cause a safety concern, the management of the corridor and the wild horses will be revisited.
