Making Sand Wash Basin Self-Sustaining
WE DID IT
THREE MAJOR PROJECTS WERE COMPLETED IN 2024!
In June of 2023 Colorado Governor Polis signed Senate Bill 23-275, the Colorado Wild Horse Project bill. Within that bill each Colorado Herd Management Area was giving funds for fertility control and range improvements. Wild Horse Warriors for Sand Wash Basin received over$94,000. This amount was based on estimates that we had given the State on projects we would like to complete.
Wild Horse Warriors for Sand Wash Basin was awarded $94,705 from Senate Bill 23-275.
The Senate Bill appropriated these funds to be paid through the Colorado Department of Agriculture with the projects being completed by July of 2025.
Our original request included funds for an additional Kiosk and additional signage in Sand Wash Basin. When the final updated bids were received these projects were put on hold. Wild Horse Warriors felt it was more important to make improvements to the water sources.
In November we completed the final project at SheepPen Pond.
The final project costs were:
Coffeepot Springs $34,824
Sheepherder Springs $34,824
SheepPen Pond $60,475
Totaling 111,684.00
