Knox will present on the biology of the species and how to manage their populations in Virginia. Lovelace will cover practical ways to deal with the impact deer leave on their environment.
The sessions are free and open to anyone. They are designed to be of interest to land and homeowners, hunters, conservationists and nature enthusiasts. Seating is limited to about 150 participants on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations are not necessary.
