The cedar split rail fence at The Arboretum Mesa County Fairgrounds

A three rail cedar split rail fence will separate The Arboretum from the main parking lot at the Mesa County Fairgrounds. The first section of this fence was installed at the end of September, 2005 and extends from the east side of the Arboretum along the turfgrass plots and crabapple collection. Greg Linza, Mesa County Facilities, coordinated the installation of this portion of the fence.

More of this fence will be installed as funds become available.
