Down Fence Removed and Recycled, Protecting Game, Livestock and Recreationists

10.12.22 - Mountain Home, ID - Rusty barbed wire fence lay on the ground for miles. No one is certain when the fences were put up or when they fell down, but it can pose a hazard to livestock, wildlife and those who recreate on endowment land. Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) with the help of volunteers is getting it cleaned up.

Volunteers from Pheasants Forever, Quail Forever, Mule Deer Foundation, Fish and Game and the public joined IDL to remove nearly 2,300 pounds of old down fence from the Danskin area of the Southwest Supervisory Area.
