ROAD MANAGEMENT

 

NWF5, Gate and Sign Installation, Jicarilla Ranger District, Carson National Forest.

 

Over a period of several years gates were installed on numerous roads on the Jicarilla District. These gates restrict vehicle access and thereby disturbance to wildlife. Foot and horse access is encouraged. Surveys indicate that wildlife densities, are higher in areas protected by the gates.

NEB1, Pot Mountain Laydown Fence, Taos Field Office.

 

Fences may act as a barrier to the free movement of wildlife. Laydown fences are used in areas where seasonal use by livestock require fencing. However, during the winter months when livestock are not present, these fences can be laid on the ground and the barrier "disappears".
