A program intended to help Pronghorn migrate through Grand Teton National Park and through the Bridger Teton National forest will take place this weekend. The National Parks Conservation Association’s Sharon Mader says Pronghorn and other wildlife sometimes gets seriously harmed by coming into contact with barbed wire fencing and she says the hope is that the program will address that. The first project begins Saturday. “We will be marking a barbed wire fence line that is on the boundary of the Park, so that the sight line is increased and is more visible for to animals migrating through and therefore safer, so that animals are less likely to get caught up in barbed wire which can lead to injury or death.” Mader says there will be a similar project later this month. Those interested in volunteering are asked to contact her office by calling 733-4680.
