Deer Density Workshop Scheduled

HYNER, Penn. — A Deer Density and Carrying Capacity Workshop is scheduled for Saturday, April 4 at the Western Clinton Sportsman’s Associations complex in Hyner.

The program is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the cost is $15 per person and includes refreshments, lunch, and handout materials.

Penn State Cooperative Extension in partnership with the North Central Chapter of the Quality Deer Management Association are providing a workshop specifically for anyone interested in learning more about white-tailed deer biology and management as it relates to the carrying capacity of the habitat.

This hands-on, in-the-field workshop gets participants in the woods looking at deer habitat. Participants will assist in collecting deer population and habitat data and learn:

•To calculate the deer density in a given forest setting

•To evaluate the condition of deer habitat

•How the condition of the habitat relates deer numbers and habitat carrying capacity.

This is an opportunity to talk to wildlife biologists and other natural resource professionals who have experience in implementing various forest and wildlife habitat management strategies.

Pre-registration for this workshop is required prior to March 30. Space is limited so please register early. For registration or additional information, call the Penn State Cooperative Extension at 355-4897 or e-mail at CentreExt@psu.edu
