Project Background
The project goal is to reduce conflict between livestock and wildlife. Participating Idaho sheep producers will be supplies with the tools and training so they can construct night corrals using turbo-fladry (electric wire with red flagging). Use of GPS will allow DOW to determine effectiveness of the turbo-fladry by comparing locations of wolves with night corral locations. An Idaho-specific fact sheet on non-lethal tools and methods to reduce conflict will be developed.
