Watershed Forestry Program

The white-tailed deer is very adaptable, thriving in a variety of habitats, including landscapes predominated by people and their activities. When predation and other losses are low and food resources are plentiful, deer populations can double every 2 to 3 years. High deer populations can adversely affect plant and animal communities in a forest for decades.

The objective of the workshop is to provide land stewards with an understanding of deer behavior as well as a user-friendly technique to estimate local deer densities. The workshop offers participants the tools to more effectively manage deer on properties they own and/or manage.

Presenters: Dave deCalesta, USDA Forest Service, Research Wildlife Biologist; Scott Haulton, SUNY-ESF, Wildlife Biologist
