ZOOM – Deer Population and Forest Health in the Arlington Region

Too Many Deer?

Are too many deer endangering our local flora and fauna? If so, what can be done about it?
On February 22 at 7 p.m., join a free webinar with a top national expert on deer management, Dr. Bernd Blossey, a professor of natural resources and the environment at Cornell University. The talk is sponsored by Arlington Regional Master Naturalists, Friends of Urban Agriculture, Master Gardeners of Northern Virginia, Tree Stewards, Audubon Society of Northern Virginia, Virginia Native Plant Society (Potowmack Chapter), Friends of Gulf Branch, and the Sierra Club.
