Successful Red Rock Rance Fence Pull


THANK YOU! Over twenty-five volunteers including two US Forest Service fire-fighting crews showed up to help with a large fencing project on Red Rock Ranch on August 15. We removed a second strand of barbed wire on a fence enclosing a 160 acre Pronghorn grazing and migration area and replaced it with smooth wire so Pronghorn are not injured when they go under the wire. Altogether, we will be took down two miles of barbed wire fence and strung two miles of smooth wire. This was a big job and we offer a huge thank you to Dale Dieter, Jackson District Ranger, Bridger Teton National Forest and his fire fighting crews.
