About the Desert Fence Busters
The Desert Fence Busters is a collaborative conservation project in Tucson’s west valley to improve and enhance wildlife movement between natural areas by removing miles of deadly fencing barriers.
After a unique partnership began nine years ago to share information between agencies on projects centered in Avra Valley west of the Tucson Mountains, it emerged that multiple land management agencies had outdated fencing that are impeding wildlife, with animal carcasses found hung up on barbed wire while attempting to jump or crawl through the fence.
Below you can find the 2021-2023 Desert Fence Buster annual reports that wrap up the groups priorities, accomplishments and future goals and how these have evolved since 2021. For more information on the Desert Fence Busters, please visit our Desert Fence Busters Page
