Land managers are aware of the catastrophic impact of super-abundant deer on tree regeneration and the loss of biodiversity in the metropolitan New York region’s herbaceous forest wildflowers. Now another phenomenon, the loss of the woody shrub layer, has reached a critical stage across most of the region (outside the New Jersey Pine Barrens). Above-ground stems of native forest shrubs are relatively short-lived compared with the life span of the rootstock. Vigorous new shoots replace older, senescent stems on a regular basis.

The rest of the story is here.

If deer is eating your plants and trees, give our professional grade, deer repellent a try. Our product is member tested and approved by the National Home and Gardening Club and personaly tested and endorsed by Babe Winkelman in his 350 acre wildlife sanctuary.
