Co-hosted by Franklin Lakes Public Library: Join us for a presentation and discussion about deer in New Jersey.
About this Event

Join us for a timely conversation about one of New Jersey's most pressing wildlife challenges. Joe Basralian, Project Coordinator of Deer New Jersey, will highlight the crisis unfolding in areas where deer herd densities have reached critical highs, and share opportunities for our community to get involved in responsible, ethical deer stewardship.

Deer New Jersey's mission is to achieve natural balance across our state by supporting a deer stewardship movement for the people, wildlife, and land we love. Their vision: a future where New Jersey's land, wildlife, and communities thrive, stewarded by all of us working together toward solutions that align with both biological and cultural goals.

Come learn more, ask questions, and discover how you can be part of the solution.
