A Wyoming Landowner’s Handbook to Fences & Wildlife

by jhwildlife | Jul 10, 2019

Tips for Creating Wildlife Friendlier Fences

• Use natural vegetation in the form of trees, bushes and gardens to delineate property boundary instead of a fence.
• If the fence is strictly aesthetic, try a low post and rail fence that wildlife can easily jump.
• Consider fencing only a portion of your property as a child’s play area, dog run or to protect a garden from wildlife.
• The height of the toprail should be no higher than 38-40 inches.
• If wire is desired, only use smooth wire and make sure the bottom wire is at least 16 inches off the ground to allow young animals and antelope to pass under.
• Choose a post and rail fence over a buck n’ rail fence, which is generally too tall and too wide for wildlife to navigate.
• Use fencing to enhance a wildlife corridor by using different kinds of fence for different purposes.

Teton County Wildlife Crossings Master Plan Action Summary

Read the Master Plan here

The Teton County Wildlife Crossings Master Plan Action Summary reflects the recommendations of the advisory committee at present. Most of the committee members have been active in conversations about wildlife crossings for several years. The committee is comprised of biologists, county engineers and planners, wildlife experts and advocates who are deeply invested in ensuring that the Master Plan is a usable document for future wildlife-vehicle collision mitigation. This group worked to provide local knowledge of locations, the social landscape, and our assessment of future feasibility to develop recommendations. Ongoing discussions with partners may result in adjustments to the priorities suggested herein. This summary document does not assume any future highway improvement projects, although future project potential and integration opportunities are considered. Also, while locations within Grand Teton National Park may benefit from mitigation consideration, the national park conducts its own wildlife-vehicle mitigation studies and subsequently was not included in this assessment.
