The future is here. Be part of it.
PERC’s Virtual Fence Conservation Fund is a quarter-million dollar initiative aimed at empowering ranchers and conservationists to adopt virtual fencing technology on public and private lands.
By testing and expanding this pioneering technology, the fund aims to support both wildlife and working lands.
What is virtual fencing?
Virtual fencing technology uses GPS-enabled collars on livestock and base station towers to create invisible boundaries without needing physical fences. This allows for more flexible and wildlife-friendly land management without the need for physical barriers, which benefits both agriculture and conservation.
Ranchers also benefit by eliminating the time-consuming and expensive task of repairing, replacing, and maintaining traditional barbed-wire fences.
Show us the conservation benefit. We’ll show you the money.
