Project Overview
Timber Stand Improvement: The projects central goal is increased winter survival of whitetail deer. On 625 acres of state forest land, release coniferous tree species by hand-cutting competing vegetation. The goal is increased regeneration and growth rate of conifers, providing winter thermal cover for whitetail deer. Conifer cover provides refugia during winter, reducing stress on deer and increasing survival.
