Deer Fencing
In 2023 ECOSS was fortunate to receive a grant from DEECA- Deer Control Program to install Deer Fencing.
This project enabled us to install 4 types of Deer Fencing as an Educational Model for community to view and gain better understanding of Deer Control methods.
If you come to ECOSS you’ll be able to tour the fence line and read the interpretive signage associated.
This is a wonderful resource for landholders and land managers to tour.
The fences were installed by Advanced Ag Services.
If you would like to book a tour of the Deer Fencing for yourself or your group, contact Chelsea on info@ecoss.org.au

All these fences are made with the strongest wire options.
There are a lot cheaper options, but they also are not as strong.
Most deer range from 100 kg to 600 kg so they can easily damage weak fences.
