On Saturday July 19th, we’re pulling some barbed-wire fence above Torrey Rim to benefit the Whiskey Mountain herd and would love some help! It’s a relatively small project (1/3 mile of fence) but occurs in crucial winter range and will benefit the herd. Please note - you must register to join so we can get a proper count of folks and distribute more information to you via e-mail.
What
~1/3 mile of old barb wire just above Torrey Rim on the Shoshone National Forest in the Fitzpatrick Wilderness.
Where
Meet at Bighorn Sheep Center in Dubois @ 09:00 (10 Bighorn Ln, Dubois, WY 82513)
Who
Looking for max 20 volunteers - please register below if you would like to join!
What to bring
Sturdy footwear, long pants/shirt, eye protection, work gloves, sunscreen, food, and plenty of water.
Note that access to Torrey Rim requires high clearance 4WD or UTVs to drive up a steep, rocky road. Forest Service will have space for up to 8 folks who need a ride. Getting to the fence requires a short, but steep hike. Some fence sections are on relatively flat ground, but some are in steep terrain that will require a small crew of sturdy folks to remove.
