Red dirt filling more wetland in the Beaver Lake watershed: Who made decision to build needless fence?

While I am happy to see some men earning money to feed their families, I wonder why the University of Arkansas would spend money (from taxpayers or athletic-department donors) to further damage the environment and reduce habitat for wildlife.
