FRIENDLY FENCING - other ideas

 
 

Other ideas for friendly fencing are often an extension of the ideas already discussed.


  1. 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.










  1. 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)
