About the event

If you’re looking to better understand how deer use your property and where to start with habitat improvements, this class is a great place to begin.
This introductory, foundational class is designed to help you start thinking like a land manager. We’ll focus on how deer naturally move through and use the landscape—covering bedding, food sources, travel patterns, and security—and how to evaluate your own property with those factors in mind.
Hosted by Bryan Miesen, Wildlife & Fisheries Biologist.
