This trip is part of a collaboration with the Prineville BLM district focused on retrofitting fences to make them more friendly to wildlife. By retrofitting the fences protecting this mesic, or wetland area, we will be improving migration corridors for pronghorn antelope, sage grouse, and other wildlife, as well as setting the stage for future restoration projects.

The work each day will involve hiking or carpooling to the project location and hiking up to 6 miles a day while completing fence retrofit tasks such as running heavy wire spools, pulling staples and unclipping wire, splicing wires together, and stapling and clipping the new wires. No previous fence experience is necessary for this trip and all training, tools and materials will be provided.
