The existing Sidehill Spring riparian exclosure(about 0.04 acres), will be removed, and a larger exclosure (about 0.35 acres) of barbed wire fence will be built that better protects the riparian vegetation from cattle impacts.
Location
Sidehill Spring is located within the Inyo Mountains Wilderness on the Mazourka Cattle & Horse Grazing Allotment about 15 air miles northeast of Independence, CA.
