Abstract
•
Virtual fencing (VF) has multiple potential uses, including managing grazing lands to advance conservation.
•
The first 2 years of our before-after-control-impact experiment showed promising results in tallgrass prairie uplands and streams.
•
Vegetation height, some bird abundances, and stream invertebrates responded to the experiment as predicted despite high collar failure and interannual variability in weather.
•
Collar refinement and additional years will provide more information on the utility of VF for conservation
