WILD HORSE SURVEY REINFORCES POPULATION CONTROL MUST CONTINUE

The NSW Government has released the final report of a Spring 2020  survey showing just over 14,000 wild horses call the Kosciuszko National Park home.

Environment Minister Matt Kean has welcomed the new data saying the results reinforced the need to manage the horse population through approaches including passive trapping and re-homing.

“I remain 100% committed to managing the very sensitive areas of the iconic Kosciuszko National Park on the basis of the best available science,” Mr Kean said.
