Wildlife comebacks in the last half century are to be celebrated. But, there have been unintended negative consequences. Deer populations, in particular, have risen to unprecedented levels in many areas, causing all kinds of problems. This Athol Bird & Nature Club presentation on Wednesday, October 14, beginning at 7 pm at the Millers River Environmental Center, 100 Main Street, Athol, will explore the deer overabundance issue and its many challenges. We no longer manage wildlife, but rather, “socioecological systems.” Tom Rawinski Botanist US Forest Service Durham Field Office will speak. Free.
