Minimizing Deer Impacts on Forests
Join CCE Columbia Greene Counties for a woodland walk to learn about deer management practices used to regenerate and maintain healthy, productive forests.
With deer over-browsing preferred native tree seedlings, they are widely seen as the top reason for a decrease in species diversity and a decline in forest regeneration, contributing to the invasion of non-native invasive species. We’ll discuss management options and the impacts of deer browsing.
In addition, you will learn how to monitor deer browsing at your site using the Assessing Vegetation for Impacts from Deer (AVID) protocol. Connect with us in the woods to learn about the importance of forest regeneration and how to keep your forests healthy, productive, and resilient!
Participants will receive a follow-up of digital resources.
