Deer Density Workshop Scheduled

The Kinzua Quality Deer Cooperative (a 73,250 acre management area in McKean County) and Penn State Cooperative Extension are proud to provide sportsmen, private forest landowners, natural resource professionals and the public with a day to learn and talk about deer density as it relates to the carrying capacity of the habitat. We will be in the woods about half of the time. You will learn about deer biology; quality deer management; estimating deer density within deer home range, completing a deer browse survey, relating density to preferred deer foods, deer reproduction and deer harvest.

The Deer Density and Carrying Capacity workshop will be in the Kinzua Quality Deer Cooperative Management Area (includes ANF, Kane Hardwood, RAM Forest Products, Commonwealth Forest Investments and Bradford Water Authority lands) near Marshburg, Pennsylvania on Route 59 on Thursday, April 14 from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. There is a minimal fee of $10.00 which includes refreshments and materials. Participants must be preregistered and space is limited. Participants will be hiking uphill and downhill for at least two miles.

To register or for more information contact Tim Pierson at the McKean County Cooperative Extension Office at 887-5613. The deadline for registration is April 9.
