The Jericho Conservation Commission invites you to learn during lunch:
How do Deer Populations Impact our Forest?
June 22nd, 12-1pm
Forest regrowth requires an abundance of healthy saplings from desirable, native trees to replace the older generations of trees as they reach the end of their lives. This regeneration of new trees is often stunted by the overabundance of white-tailed deer. During the winter deer browse on young saplings, often so much that it can cause shifts in forest composition. In addition, overabundant deer facilitate the spread of invasive plants and negatively impact soil causing cascades of impacts through forest ecosystems.
Join us at this online workshop to learn from Dr. Kate Miller about the research she has conducted on regeneration debt caused by deer browse. Kate is the Quantitative Ecologist for the Northeast Temperate Network Inventory and Monitoring Program and is the Project Lead for implementing NETN's forest health, freshwater wetland, invasive species early detection protocols. Kate's research on deer browse has taken place at 39 different National Parks in the east.
