YU Bench Fence Modification Project
Join us on Monday April 14th from 9am to noon. Your efforts will make a section of fence more wildlife friendly, allowing pronghorn to cross under the fence easier.

When: We will meet at the fence at 9am until noon.
Where: Our meeting place is 44°27'13.8"N 108°41'44.8"W
Directions: Leave Cody and head east on Highway 14-16-20 for approximately 17 miles. Turn right 44°28'25.3"N 108°41'15.2"W, this small turnoff will be marked with a sign/flagging. Open/close the gate. Stay on this dirt path* for about 1.3 miles until you drive up the hill (there will be a sign/flagging). At the top of the hill, turn right and drive 0.4 miles to the fence and staging area.
*This is a dirt road, with moderate clearance needed for one section.
The drive takes roughly 35 minutes from Cody. Google maps will take you to the first turnoff but won't work past that.
You will need to bring gloves, appropriate outdoor gear, and closed toe shoes. A water bottle is highly suggested. If you have your own tools, you are welcome to bring them (we will have tools available).
If you have questions, please call or text Kimi Zamuda (703-405-2725).
Absaroka Fence Initiative leverages volunteers, willing landowners, and other participants to improve fence functionality for wildlife and livestock by retrofitting, removing or replacing problematic sections of fence.
Stay current on volunteer opportunities, activities, and other updates.
