Need
We cannot expand our garden area without deer protection. Partial funding is available for Environmental Farm Plan approved projects completed by 31 December 2008. Our fencing plan has been approved.
Description
Enclose the area from the ditch just behind the yellow house and greenhouse on the south, to the road on the north, between the east and west property lines. Include five vehicle gates to provide access to the road and to farm roads. Include smaller pedestrian gates as needed.
Alternatively, enclose the area inside our loop road that runs from one driveway, behind the white house and woodshed, to the other driveway, and the north field next to Meg Buckley. Include one vehicle gate for each of the two fenced areas, and smaller pedestrian gates as needed. Minimize fencing and maximize access by using the White House and woodshed (and possibly existing garden area) in the fence line.
Goal or deliverable
Four+ acres of deer-fenced area that we can begin to turn into gardens.
