Hundreds of elk and deer throughout North America get caught in fencing each year. The mission of the Wildlife Friendly Fencing Project at the ASCCA is to educate people locally about building fencing with wildlife in mind. There are ways to build fence that allow wildlife to cross safely over and under wires. Landowners can also install alternatives to fencing where property boundaries are needed, without a physical barrier.
