Wesselman Woods was established as a state nature preserve in the 1930s and as a city park in the 1960s. In 1972 a field station was built on the edge of the preserve, which is staffed by four people who primarily work as environmental educators of school groups. In 1998, the director of Wessleman Woods established a Natural Resources Committee. Several local scientists teaching at two local universities served on the committee. The committee has decided that the deer population at WWNP is too high and the herd should be reduced substantially.
Deer are herbivores.
Let's assume that you agree that the deer population is too high. Deer images courtesy of Robert Savannah, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service .
