Project Details:
Project Location: We will be working on ASLD lands approximately 10 miles south of Inter state 40, at the Anvil Rock Road Exit at Mile Marker 109, 20 miles west of Seligman, AZ.
Project Begins: Saturday, April 12. Please meet at camp not later than 8:00AM. This is scheduled as a one-day project.
Project Activity: We will removing old four strand non wildlife friendly fence. We hope to remove ~3 miles depending on one stretch of mile which lands in private to see if we have permission to remove fence from.
Pronghorn Benefits: This effort is located in the heart of pronghorn habitat in Unit 18A. For five years cooperators have been removing page wire fence and modifying portions of fence with “Pronghorn Friendly” 4-strand fence. Fencing efforts are happening in conjunction with fawn enhancement, water distribution improvements, and habitat treatments. The AAF has planned to continue with 10 fence removal projects over the next 5-years to accomplish this work. It is an integral part of the greater Unit 18A fence/water/habitat improvement project lead by the AZ Game & Fish Department Kingman Regional Office in partnership with local ranchers/lessees and the Mule Deer Foundation, Arizona Elk Society, and the Arizona Deer Association. Currently there are 33 pronghorn radio-collared, which are providing invaluable information on the barriers much of the current fencing is creating for resident pronghorn.
HPC Grant Benefits: All volunteer work hours and mileage will be used as in-kind match for an approved and funded 2020 AAF -AGFD Unit 18A Pronghorn Connectivity Project.
What to Bring: Work gloves (AAF will have a limited supply), snacks, water, personal gear.
Meals: Please provide your own lunch to eat in the field on Saturday. AAF will provide field water on the project day and dinner for all volunteers on Friday and Saturday nights and continental breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
