Fencing School is back!

“Whether you are repairing an existing fence, planning a new fencing project or wanting to learn more about different fence systems, this school will provide practical information and hands-on experience for participants of all skill levels,” said Paige Brummund, NDSU Extension agent in Ward County.

The interactive program will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will include classroom instruction and hands-on demonstrations. Morning sessions will cover North Dakota fencing laws, virtual fencing and energized fencing systems. Afternoon sessions will focus on live construction demonstrations, fencing tools and fencing materials. https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/news/newsreleases/2026/may/ndsu-extension-sets-fencing-school-event-for-june-10
