There are derelict barbed wire fences cutting across the landscape that pose a danger to recreators and wildlife alike. Your project will be removing a section of derelict fencing! Meet your site lead at the West Fork turnaround and carpool to the section of fence that you’ll be pulling out. Gloves, wire cutters, and guidance will be provided on site.
