Our April meeting will be held via zoom. We will watch a pre-recorded talk by Dr. Bernd Blossey and then Dr Blossey will join at 8:00 for a Q&A session.
Dr. Blossey is a professor of natural resources and environment at Cornell University. An ever-increasing focus of his team are investigations into impacts of multiple “stressors” including invasive plants, non-native earthworms, and deer on a wide range of native organisms. He is intimately involved in different approaches to deer management at Cornell and in the surrounding municipalities, and he is the chair of the Cornell Deer Management Committee. Bernd has developed a network or deer exclosures to study impact of deer on many species and processes, and is developing bioindicators to assess effects of different stressors, including deer. The ultimate aim of this work is to increase the conservation values of all lands through development of best management practices.
