FY26 Deer Fence Install NE-B.xlsx

This file is a project specifications spreadsheet for the Pennsylvania Game Commission's Bureau of Wildlife Habitat Management, Forestry Division, detailing FY26 deer fence installations across the NE-B region in Sullivan and Bradford Counties. The project encompasses seven separate fence installation blocks totaling approximately 45,192 linear feet of woven wire deer enclosure fencing across multiple State Game Lands parcels. The installations include 359 man gates, 27 sixteen-foot truck gates, 4 forty-foot skidder gates, and 5 deer ramps distributed across the project sites. Individual blocks range from 4,955 to 9,731 acres, with perimeters varying accordingly. Notable site characteristics include rocky terrain, wet conditions, steep slopes, dense vegetation, excessive hazard trees, and excessive down wood that contractors must account for during installation.

The project sites include Dutchmaster Block 1, Bear Swamp Blocks 1-3, Leroy CCC Block 1, and Little Bitty Blocks 1-2, each with designated forestry contacts and specific installation instructions. Critical project requirements include tying new fence installations into existing fence corridors where applicable, positioning fencing above landings to avoid interference with operations, coordinating truck gate swing directions with Pennsylvania Game Commission personnel, and utilizing existing trail corridors approximately 900 feet along northern lines to facilitate installation activities. The northeastern fence line of approximately 1,200 feet presents rocky conditions requiring specialized attention. Forestry contacts Marty C. and Chad B. serve as primary project coordinators, with specific phone numbers provided for coordination purposes.
