Fence for Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii), St. Georg

Fence for Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii), St. George, Utah. Here the fence crosses a desert wash. The cedar logs will float and lift up the fence during a flooding event. This minimizes damage to the fence as a result of flooding and debris.
