Why does the fencing look like something from Jurassic park?
- Beavers can both climb and dig, so a fence has to be sturdy if it is going to contain them.
- There is an (approx. 3 ft) skirt to the fencing that is buried underground
- The wire mesh fence also hangs over into the enclosure to stop them climbing over.
- We’ll be monitoring other wildlife that uses the area carefully, and there are measures we can take to make sure they can get over (deer) or through (otters & other mammals)
