Volunteers Pull Fence
Block title
Three hearty volunteers removed fence from deep within MPG Ranch on Friday, April 26th. One of the volunteers was Caitlyn, MPG’s new WOOFer. To learn about what a WOOF’er is Click Here. While she stays at MPG she will work on various projects on the ranch.
We targeted an area near the road juncture that marks the dividing line between the front and backside of the ranch. The densely forested, remote area sees high traffic from elk and wild horses. The myriad of paths worn parallel to fence lines speak to the effect that fences have on wildlife. Clearing fences removes wildlife travel barriers and allows animals to roam freely.
