Potential areas and willing land owners have been identified, details have been provided in Appendix 1. Fencing will be either 2 or 3 strand barb and sheep wire (tbc depending on site specifications) with posts spaced 2m apart, within a minimum of 2-3m of watercourses. Posts must be FSC certified a 15-year guarantee In some instances access gates will be required.
