Vermont’s forests are facing a quiet but persistent threat: deer browse. As deer populations remain high in many parts of the state, the regeneration of key tree and understory species is increasingly at risk.
Vermont Woodlands Association will hold a Deer, Forests, and the Regeneration Challenge: Understanding the Impact of Deer Browse webinar on Tuesday, April 29th from Noon to 1 pm
Over browsing can hinder forest health, reduce biodiversity, and limit the resilience of our woodlands—posing long-term challenges for landowners, foresters, and wildlife alike.
In this webinar, Nick Fortin, Vermont’s state deer biologist, and Sam Schneski, Windham County Forester, will hold a timely conversation on the impacts of deer browse, the science behind forest regeneration, and what can be done to support healthy forests for the future.
This webinar will explore current data, on-the-ground observations, and practical strategies for managing this complex issue. Whether you’re a landowner, woodland manager, or simply concerned about Vermont’s forest future, this session will offer valuable insights and actionable information.
