The Deer Conundrum (Online)
Gardeners and native plant lovers often see deer as a threat: They eat the plants we try to nurture, and they are a major factor influencing forest ecosystems. But the truth about deer is complicated, and so is the quest to manage their numbers. How did we get here? Explore the many facets of the deer question, particularly the history of their changing populations in North America with author Erika Howsare of the book The Age of the Deer: Trouble and Kinship with Our Wild Neighbors.
