Construction of new steel pipe vehicle barrier fencing is finally underway in South County San Diego after years of fundraising, planning, and permitting. The barriers are being installed along two and one half miles of rural Proctor Valley Road near Jamul to reduce ORV damage to sensitive habitats and to protect several nearby nature preserves including the City of San Diego’s Cornerstone Lands, the Rancho Jamul Ecological Reserve, and the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge. The new barriers are being constructed on private property to close gaps between existing barriers on adjacent preserve properties and are funded by the California Natural Resources Agency, San Diego Association of Governments, and The Nature Conservancy.
