Wednesday, June 4, 7:00 pm – Scentless Spring: Ecosystems Under Siege by White-Tailed Deer


The overabundance of white-tailed deer is a growing problem. As a keystone species of forest ecosystems, they have a disproportionate impact on other species – wildflowers, tree seedlings, songbirds, and insects. Learn about the extensive damage caused by deer overpopulation on the Blue Hills Reservation and in other forests throughout our region, on Wednesday, June 4 at 7 pm at the Cambridge Public Library, 449 Broadway, Cambridge, at a free program sponsored by Grow Native Massachusetts. We can solve this by restoring the predation that once kept deer populations in check.

Speaker Tom Rawinski is a US Forest Service botanist in Durham, NH. For more information visit www.grownativemassachusetts.org.
