Water Vole Fencing

SKU
GT2479230

Water vole fencing is a critical measure in protecting and conserving water vole populations during construction or development projects near water bodies. These small mammals are protected species and rely on suitable habitats along rivers, streams, and wetlands. Water vole fencing acts as a barrier, preventing their access to construction sites and disturbance-prone areas. Manufactured from recycled polypropylene panels.

Water vole fencing plays a crucial role in safeguarding and conserving water vole populations during construction near water bodies. As protected species, water voles depend on suitable habitats along rivers and wetlands. Tailored to their needs, this specialised fencing acts as a barrier, preventing their access to construction sites and disturbance-prone areas.

The fencing creates a physical barrier that restricts water voles' movement while allowing passage for other smaller organisms. This ensures their safety and contributes to biodiversity conservation. Manufactured from light green recycled polypropylene panels the fencing protects both the water voles and workers who are nearby.

Note: Consulting with wildlife experts and environmental consultants is vital for designing and placing water vole fencing correctly. Their expertise ensures effective protection and minimises disruption to water voles during construction activities.

How To Fit

500mm vertically below ground, 1200mm vertically above ground and supported with timber stakes

The fence panels are installed using various methods, such as the slitting technique or trench excavation. For optimal results, the slitting method is preferred. Once positioned, the slit is closed by compacting the soil, creating a secure seal. Panels are overlapped and fastened with aluminum blind rivets for added strength. Adjustments can be made to accommodate uneven terrain or contours. Choose the appropriate installation method based on site conditions for a reliable and customized fencing solution.
