Slash walls were developed at the Cornell University’s Arnot Teaching and Research Forest in 2017. Slash walls have proven effective to exclude deer.
Cornell Extension will hold two one-hour Vegetation Response to Slash Walls that Exclude Deer webinars on February 21st at noon and 7 pm
Annual measurements of permanent sample points have documented changes in vegetation inside versus outside of slash walls. These presentations by Peter Smallidge, Brett Chedzoy & David Weinstein will review 4 to 6 years of vegetative response, inside younger and older slash walls, to assess their association with the regeneration stocking, hardwood seedling diversity, seedling height growth, and other metrics of response.
The design and construction of slash walls will be reviewed.
