Fence a Foot

With each purchase of a Fence a Foot Badger Buy, we lay down another foot of cattle fencing.  Why do we need to fence cattle?  This applies to states like Wyoming, which are open range, meaning cattle can go wherever they please on any property so long as it is not fenced.  Cattle are non-native, human-introduced animals and can sometimes damage flora through overgrazing and trampling.  Laying fences prevents cattle from influencing Western Lands and allows its original wildlife to abound.

We design our fences to be wildlife-friendly, so that cattle cannot move past it, but most other animals can.  Cattle are large creatures but cannot jump, meaning the fences we lay are short enough for deer-sized creature to jump over, and short enough for smaller badger-sized critters to crawl under, allowing for maximum admittance of native fauna.  Here (Link: USDA Wildlife Friendly Fencing Guide) is an external source we use to help guide us in making our fences wildlife friendly.

Our fences are not magical, though.  Cattle-like animals such as the bear or moose will also find themselves barred by the fence, and there is no way to prevent that.  Because of the possible hinderance to these native creatures, we only lay fencing in the most selective areas, where obvious damage from cattle has occurred.

Since our founding in 2021, all fencing for Western Lands Preservation has been done by volunteers!  That means when you buy a Fence a Foot Badger Buy, more of your money goes to funding our growth and the further protection of Western Lands.
