Join Montana BHA and the Bureau of Land Management for a full day of fence modification near Roundup. The modification will consist of replacing barbed wire strands with smooth wire which prevents wildlife from becoming snagged in the fence as they travel and utilize the landscape. Our goal for this project is approx. 4 miles of fencing modified to wildlife friendly specs.
We are looking for volunteers to join us for a full work day on Saturday from 8am - 4pm. BHA will provide supplementary water, snacks, pop-up tent to catch some shade under and all necessary tools for fencing work but volunteers should plan to show up with plenty of water (it'll likely be hot!). This event is not dog friendly, but older kids are welcome as long as they are capable of handling tools and cutting strands of barbed wire that are potentially dangerous.
We will meet at 8am Saturday morning just off of North Gage Rd (46.57711, -108.34307) for a brief introduction/safety brief and work until 4pm. The site can be accessed via Highway 12 to Gage Rd/ N Gage Rd. Volunteers are welcome to camp at nearby dispersed camping sites on BLM or show up bright and early.
Volunteers should bring: Hiking boots, work gloves, snacks/water, eye protection, clothing layers for a full day outside (long sleeves are encouraged to protect against sun and barbed wire),
