Fences can cause serious injuries and even death for wildlife. Installing wildlife friendly fencing can help prevent these incidents and keep wildlife safe. Wildlife damage to your fencing is also costly and frustrating to fix. By tailoring fence design and placement, you can reduce wildlife injuries and decrease damage to your fences.
