March 11th: Dealing with Deer in Suburban Landscapes
White-tailed deer pose tremendous management challenges for many communities. Deer are loved and seen as a symbol of wildness by some people, yet gardeners and farmers may be fed up with excessive
plant or crop damage. Deer may cause vehicle accidents, and high deer densities are associated with increasing cases of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. Having both substantial benefits and costs, people often can’t agree on how to manage deer. This session will discuss research and management approaches for potentially addressing deer-related conflicts, especially in suburban areas where stakeholders may hold diverse values and opinions concerning deer impacts.
Hosted by: Paul D. Curtis, Ph.D., CWB®, Professor of Wildlife Science in the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment at Cornell University.
March 18th: Management of Pocket Gophers
This training will teach about the biology of pocket gophers and their damage. Attendees will learn the various methods to effectively manage pocket gophers including, habitat modification, cultural controls, trapping, toxicants, and fumigants.
Hosted by: Stephen M. Vantassel, ACE, Vertebrate Pest Specialist, Montana Department of Agriculture.
