Effects and Extent of Deer Browse on Forest Regeneration
Forest Regeneration Monitoring
The following reports summarize the overall risk deer currently pose to forest regeneration. Forestry staff completed them as part of the Forest Regeneration Monitoring (FRM) Program, specifically to provide County Deer Advisory Councils (CDACs) and wildlife resource managers with county-level data on the effects and extent of deer browse on forest regeneration.
Please note the FRM Program is designed to visit sites every three years to provide time series observations of forest change. Since resampling will not begin until 2021, these reports represent snapshots of current risk. Results will be refined and updated as sites are revisited and new data is collected and analyzed.
These reports are the first attempt to summarize and communicate these data in a manner that is useful to CDAC members. Send an email to DNRFRRegenerationMonitoring@wisconsin.gov with any feedback or suggestions on how to improve future reports.
