The Impacts of White-tailed Deer in New Jersey & What Can Be Done
February 17 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Jay Kelly, Raritan Valley Community College Center for Environmental Studies
Monday, February 17, 7 pm
Stockton University
Unified Science Center. Room 246

Jay Kelly has been studying white-tailed deer in New Jersey for many years – how and why their numbers have grown so large over time, how they have devastated native plant populations, and how different management strategies have succeeded or failed. He will share his experiences and his research with us and will answer your questions about an often-loved but problematic species.
Dr. Kelly is Professor of Biology & Environmental Science, Co-Director of the Center for Environmental Studies, and Chair of the Department of Science & Engineering at RVCC. His research interests include the biology and conservation of rare plant species, the effects of overabundant deer, exotic invasive species, land use history, and the implementation of land management practices that seek to balance human activities with the needs of endangered species.
Directions: For all classroom meetings this spring, we will be back on the second floor of the Unified Science Center and in one of the rooms we have used in the past. See the campus map below. The closest parking spots are in Lots #4 and #5, which share the same entry off Vera King Farris Drive, the main drive on campus. Parking Lot #5 is made easy to spot by the mural of two ospreys on the Sports Center wall.
