Certain types of traditional fencing such as 5- or 6-strand barbed wire can cause problems for wildlife by blocking animal migrations, entangling big game species resulting in injury or death, and presenting a collision hazard for large, low-flying birds. Fencing designed with wildlife in mind can be just as effective as older styles at marking […]
