One of the biggest threats to these monuments is wildlife, which can cause damage to the structures and artifacts through their activities such as burrowing, nesting, and foraging.
One method of wildlife control is the use of fencing to keep animals out of the site. Fencing can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal, or plastic, and can be designed to be invisible or blend in with the surrounding landscape.
Habitat modification can be used as a preventive measure to reduce the likelihood of wildlife damage to an archaeological monument. This can include removing food sources and shelter, or altering the landscape to make it less attractive to animals.
Trapping and relocation is another option for wildlife control at archaeological monuments. This method involves capturing animals that are causing damage to the site and relocating them to a more suitable habitat. This approach should be used with caution, as it can disrupt the local ecosystem and lead to further damage to the site.
It is also important to take note of local laws and regulations regarding wildlife control. There are laws and regulations in place that farmers and landowners must follow when controlling wildlife on their property. Vergo can offer advice and guidance on the dos and don’ts of wildlife management.
Archaeological Wildlife Control FAQs
Wildlife can cause significant damage to historical sites through burrowing, nesting, and foraging. This activity can compromise the structural integrity of monuments and disrupt artifacts, making effective wildlife control essential to protect these valuable heritage sites.
Common methods include fencing and barriers to exclude animals, habitat modification to make the area less attractive to wildlife, and trapping and relocation where necessary. These approaches are carefully designed to balance site preservation with environmental considerations.
Our practices align with all required codes of conduct and local regulations. Our experienced staff are trained to work in sensitive and historically significant locations, often collaborating with archaeologists to implement solutions that protect both the site and its surrounding ecosystem.
