Volunteers Dismantle Barbed Wire To Aid Wildlife Migration In SW Montana
Volunteers in Southwest Montana are removing 35 miles of barbed wire fences to help pronghorns and elk move freely in Grasshopper Valley, improving wildlife migration pathways and safety.
According to Wildlife Project Coordinator Collin Peterson, there are over 20,000 miles of fences alone in 2 counties across Southwest Montana.
"At minimum, fences are blocking pronghorn's ability to move across the landscape, to access critical resources, and to complete migrations,"
Peterson explains that fences can also present a more lethal risk to pronghorn.
- Pronghorn
- Elk
- Mule deer
- Bighorn sheep
are the species that will benefit from the removal of the old barbed wire fences.
