Agricultural & Wildlife Fence Installation

Tortoise fencing provides protective measures to safeguard desert tortoises (scientifically known as Gopherus agassizii), which are a threatened species native to California. These tortoises inhabit desert ecosystems, and their populations have been negatively affected by habitat loss, urban development, and road traffic.

Tortoise fencing consists of barriers erected along roadways, construction sites, and other areas where tortoises might be at risk of injury or death due to vehicle collisions or human activities. The goal is to prevent tortoises from accessing potentially dangerous areas and to guide them toward safe crossings, underpasses, or habitat corridors.

Tortoise fencing typically includes a combination of wire mesh or solid panels that create a barrier along roadsides. These barriers guide tortoises toward designated crossing points, such as culverts or underpasses, where they can safely navigate roadways without risking harm. The fencing also serves to discourage tortoises from entering construction sites or areas where their presence could lead to injury.
