Fencing

This practice may be applied on any area where management of animal or people movement is needed. Fences are not needed where natural barriers will serve the purpose. Applicable purposes include, but are not limited to :Improving distribution and timing of livestock grazing, facilitating handling, movement, and feeding of livestock, protecting newly planted areas from disturbance until established and protecting the safety of people, livestock, and wildlife by limiting or denying access to hazardous areas.

The Hill family used fencing on their property to keep cattle out of their stream and to help improve water quality in the Harpeth River Watershed.  Click here to see their story.
