Highway Fencing Program

What it is:

Provincial Livestock Fencing Program

This is an applicant driven fencing program designed to help livestock producers uphold their responsibility to keep livestock away from provincial highway corridors.

Applications are reviewed by a committee, and projects are selected based on several factors, including current fence condition, livestock headcount and highway designation.

Once projects are selected, the BCCA solicits quotes from local contractors to repair and replace the fencing.

Eligibility

The applicant is operating an active livestock operation.
The livestock operation is along a Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 highway or along a railway adjacent to highway corridor. Secondary (side road) paved routes may also be considered.
The fencing is located along the highway and forms an integral part of an existing fencing system for livestock containment.

QUICK FACTS

Funded by and delivered in partnership with the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Transit and the B.C. Ministry of Forests
Provides funds for replacement of existing fences on provincially owned highways
Must be a B.C. livestock producer to apply
