The West is laced with thousands of miles of fence. Removing fences entirely opens up landscapes to unrestricted wildlife movement, but in many cases agricultural fences remain a necessary element of the Western landscape. The good news is that those fences can serve a purpose that meets human needs while being friendlier to wildlife movement. JHWF works with landowners to identify feasible ways to accommodate wildlife movement and make fences safer for wildlife. Fence volunteers work with us to help meet these goals on our “Public Fence Projects.” If are interested in helping out on a project, email info@jhwildlife.org to sign up. No prior experience is needed!

Research Scientist in the Instrument Systems Implementation and Concepts Section at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Dr. Cable was also Assistant Project Science Systems Engineer for the Cassini Mission, which explored the Saturn system. Event is 7:00pm at the Jackson Campus of Teton Science Schools. More info here.
