Wildlife fencing design guide

A wildlife fence is a barrier that prevents or guides the movement of animals from one area to another. This guide covers all types of fencing that may be used to control wildlife in farming, forestry, landscape management and along linear corridors, in particular along roadsides, but also others, such as, railways and canals. It provides theoretical guidance for designers and planners and practical guidance to managers and fence constructors and, in particular, for those who are involved in fencing roadsides. The need for wildlife fencing is explained together with the factors that should be considered when deciding whether fencing is necessary.
