One Mile Closer

In August, volunteers from Backcountry Hunters & Anglers collaborated with the Bureau of Land Management Rawlins Field Office to remove one mile of obsolete fencing from the Sullivan grazing allotment in the Shirley Basin, improving wildlife movement and habitat while recycling over 3,000 pounds of steel fencing, with plans for further removals and ongoing partnerships to benefit public lands and wildlife such as mule deer, elk, pronghorn, and sage-grouse.
