Farm Campsite: Safe

Farm Campsite, UnSafe Site

The Key Improvement

Installing a securely locked gate, and ensuring the fence was intact and maintained was the simplest and most effective measure the farm owners took after the accident. This ensures the public can only access the farm from the main entrance some distance away on the highway.

Benefits

The accident raised questions about the farm's suitability as a location of a campsite. Only by implementing these changes could they convince the authorities that the site should be kept open. There have been no accidents involving the campers since the improvements.
