Barbed wire..again

Please help our wildlife:

• monitor barbed wire fencing in your area and report any entangled animals to your local wildlife rescue organisation or to Wildlife Operations
• put bunting on the top wire of barbed wire fencing so it can be seen by animals and help them to avoid it
• replace the top strand of fence with plain or borderline sighter (white plastic coated) wire
• avoid using barbed wire
• consider if a fence is needed and think about other options such as planted barriers
• avoid erecting fences on ridgelines, near fruiting or flowering trees, across wildlife corridors, over dams or waterways
• don’t grow fruiting or flowering plants near barbed wire fencing
• remove and appropriately dispose of redundant barbed wire fencing as soon as possible.
