High-Tensile Woven Wire Fences for Reducing Wildlife Damage

FS889

First Paragraph:
Where wildlife is abundant and/or crops are high value, fencing can be an effective tool for excluding deer and small mammals. High-tensile woven wire (HTWW) fences provide a physical barrier that keeps wildlife outside the protected areas. HTWW fencing is effective in reducing crop damage in areas that have moderate to high wildlife pressure, and can be low maintenance and long-lived when properly installed.
