Deer Exclosure Workshop

Join us for this hands-on workshop led by Eli Arnow. We will create a deer exclosure of about 7000 square feet using 8-foot high, heavy duty and long lasting 'deer fence' in a pine grove. The purpose of the exclosure is to protect a remnant population of native lady slippers from deer browse while allowing other native species to flourish. Creating deer exclosures protects plants from deer browse while providing an opportunity to restore forest understory species lost due to decades of deer overabundance. Participants will learn how to site a deer exclosure and how they can install similar deer fencing on their own property.

Eli Arnow is an ecological hunter, land steward, and environmental advocate serving as chair of the Forest Health Task Force at Partners for Climate Action Hudson Valley. He has a masters degree from SUNY ESF in Environmental Science with a concentration in ecological restoration and lives in southern Columbia County.

The workshop will be held on private property in Wallkill.

Address will be provided to registrants prior to the event.
