Breakfast Briefing: Dealing With Deer In Our Region

Emile DeVito from the New Jersey Conservation Foundation stops by to speak with us about deer herds in northern New Jersey and various management techniques that can be used to prevent environmental destruction due to over-grazing.  Local deer populations are estimated to exceed 70 deer per square mile, while natural carrying capacity is closer to 10-to-15 deer per square mile.  Large deer herds can reduce biodiversity in a region by trampling or consuming native undergrowth.
