The Orlean Community Trail System (OCTS) recently gave their Community Improvement Award to Bill and Natalie Zink of Orlean for setting their fence back a responsible 25 feet, allowing trail riders to connect farms across their road front. L-R: Bill Zink, Natalie Zink, OCTS President Becky Benoit. The OCTS has encouraged thoughtful land management for years. One of its goals includes encouraging landowners to build roadside fencing that is set back from the road by 20-25 feet. In part, the effort simply looks better to the eye, but practically, it allows easier access for riding mowers. In addition, a spacious fencing setback allows horseback riders or walkers to travel the road without risking an incident with a passing vehicle.Photo by Rob Banner.
