Creating living fences with native plants to protect natural habitats and farmlands.
Traditional fencing using concrete, metal, or synthetic materials is expensive, unsustainable, and harmful to the environment. Bio fencing replaces these with living barriers made of native thorny plants and trees that serve as natural fences.
Our Bio Fencing project promotes the use of native species like Gliricidia, Euphorbia, and other thorny plants to create living fences that protect farmlands from stray animals, prevent soil erosion, and provide habitat for birds and insects.
