Water Gulch Fence Relocation

Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest Silver Bow, Montana Butte Ranger District

The project moves a fence between two range pastures that currently lies within an increasingly popular, dispersed camp site. By moving the fence away from the recreation site, it should reduce the amount of recreation and livestock conflicts.
