“Recovering from Deer Damage: What is Most Important to You–Fewer Ticks? Less Deer-Related Car Accidents? Improving Habitats?”
Is the picture above a familiar sight? It should be! In recent history, deer populations have increased to extremely high levels ultimately also increasing the amount of damage they can cause to humans and to healthy ecosystems. From dispersing lyme-disease ridden ticks to chomping on garden plants to harming forests, butterflies, and lizards, deer populations can have broad impacts. Come out to NHSM and hear Eugene Meyer, a recently retired professor of Loyola University, talk about these impacts, how they make sense in light of key aspects of deer ecology and human natural history, and solutions being tested around the United States.
