Deer damage to ornamental plantings around residential dwellings is easy to identify. However, deer damage to native vegetation is somewhat more difficult for the untrained eye to recognize. Native vegetation should compromise the vast majority of food intake that deer consume on a daily basis. Most suburban deer herds have adjusted their diets to take advantage of manicured lawns, supplemental food sources, ornamental plantings, and agricultural food sources at great cost to the stakeholders. Deer consume what they can reach, and consequently tree saplings and tender emergent vegetation suffers. What is left behind is generally unappetizing and of little nutritional value to deer or other wildlife species. This accounts for a majority of the current visible understory in the suburban ecosystem. Traditional food sources such as acorn producing trees, fruit producing trees and shrubs, and ground cover are being eradicated from the suburban ecosystem. The trickledown effect of intense repeat browsing and grazing of qualitative native vegetation has a direct impact on soil erosion, detritus accumulation, redundancy of plant life, diversity of Neotropical songbirds, and ground dwelling species of birds and mammals that cohabitate with deer. Eccologix and its partners focus on identifying the level of damage and encouraging vegetative regeneration. We provide a variety of strategies such as, deer deterrent fencing, deer exclusionary fencing, replanting of native vegetation, and limited timber harvest to encourage sunlight penetration through the canopy to repair the horizontal and vertical structure of the forest ecosystem. This in combination with a comprehensive deer removal strategy will gradually have long lasting positive effects on the quality of available food and cover for all of the species of plants and animals in the ecosystem.
