The Forest Service plans to build a two-mile-long fence that would prevent the Cloud's herd from lands they've used for centuries. The horse graze on these wide, sub-alpine pastures in mid-summer through the fall but these lands have never been recognized as the horses' rightful range. The fence would cut off historic horse trails they have used for over 250 years- and waste taxpayer dollars while scarring a valued natural and scenic ecosystem and further jeopardizing this herd.
