Abstract

Virtual fencing (VF) has multiple potential uses, including managing grazing lands to advance conservation.
The first 2 years of our before-after-control-impact experiment showed promising results in tallgrass prairie uplands and streams.
Vegetation height, some bird abundances, and stream invertebrates responded to the experiment as predicted despite high collar failure and interannual variability in weather.
Collar refinement and additional years will provide more information on the utility of VF for conservation
