About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Join us for a woodland walk at the Frost Valley Model Forest to explore options for minimizing deer impacts on 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 including fencing, tree tubes, natural deterrents, slash walls, and more.

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!
