FRIENDLY FENCING - other ideas

Other ideas for friendly fencing are often an extension of the ideas already discussed.
1.Don’t have a fence at all if you do not need to contain livestock.
Plant trees and shrubs. Build a ha-ha wall .
The Ha-ha is a barrier to animals in both directions. It is
designed to not interrupt the view and is invisible until
seen close by. Ha-ha walls consist of a sunken stone-wall, its
top level with the garden and a deep ditch on the far side: an
effective barrier to livestock.
2.Where landowners are reluctant to accept
changes to fencing, animals can be helped by
stretching a bird wire ‘apron’ between the top
and bottom strands at hotspots. The apron
helps because if a glider strikes the apron
section, it cannot spin around the top strand
because of the wire-netting curtain stretched
from top to bottom strand of the fence. Instead,
there is a good chance the glider will be able to
clamber off the fence and either leap to the target
tree or jump to the ground and scramble to
the nearest tree. (Rupert Russell, Julattan)
