The committee will provide expert advice to improve feral horse management in Alberta.
We have re-established the Feral Horse Advisory Committee to discuss tools and options that balance the value many Albertans place on seeing feral horses on the landscape with matters like public safety, protecting wildlife habitat, supporting local industry and ensuring sustainable use of public lands.
The committee is being re-established to offer expert advice that will improve feral horse management in Alberta. We are improving past approaches to feral horse management by incorporating new knowledge and the latest science. This includes working with the Office of the Chief Scientist and top Canadian researchers who specialize in feral horse populations from the University of Saskatchewan, the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary.
