Helping preserve habitat lands

A good number of helpers came out to remove approximately 2,000 feet of woven wire fence from a big-game transition area near the Pennock Mountain Habitat Area last Saturday.

According to SER (Saratoga, Encampment, Rawlins) Conservation District Supervisory Resource Specialist Joe Parsons, the SER Conservation District partnered with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and Wyoming Game and Fish Department to put the project together, and needed volunteers. The Pennock Mountain Habitat Area is a 9,800-acre wildlife habitat management area five miles northeast of Saratoga in the foothills below Pennock Mountain.

Helpers who removed the fence included Joe Herstead, of the Wyoming Trappers Association; Pete Taylor, of the Cozy Canyon Ranch in Saratoga; Wendy Haas, of the U.S. Forest Service in Saratoga; Eric and Michell Anderson, of Bowhunters of Wyoming; Will Schultz, of Wyoming Game and Fish and landowner Mike Condict.

Parsons, who also helped, said he and other officials from the SER Conservation District wanted to thank all who participated in the fence removal project.
