Our week of action is making a difference for theSalt River wild horsesin Arizona. Thousands of people who love this herd have taken action so far, so let’s keep it up!

TheSalt River wild horsesare facing a significant threat due to new fencing within the Tonto National Forest, which could result in the loss of 40% of their critical grazing grounds. To prevent this, we need to urge the Maricopa Department of Transportation (MCDOT) to construct a wildlife overpass in their habitat.

We are calling on McDOT to build a wildlife and wild horse overpass over Bush Highway in the Coon Bluff area of the Tonto National Forest. This overpass is essential for protecting theSalt River wild horsesand ensuring public safety in the area.

After you call and email, be sure to sign and share the petition! Contact McDOT at 602-506-3342 or mcdotprojects@maricopa.gov.
