Deer Monitoring


Recently we put up  three deer monitoring enclosures in different areas of the wood. The purpose of these is to observe  what grows on the ground when the deer are kept out. They'll stay in place for a at least 2  years. Although we suspect, and there certainly seems to be evidence, that the deer eat almost everything that tries to regenerate, we don't know for sure how the wood might be without their depredations. But we should get an  idea of the difference it would make with far fewer deer.
