Looking for Mule Deer in All the Right Places

Chelan-Douglas Land Trust Stewardship Coordinator Neal Hedges led a group of volunteers looking for deer scat in the Horse Lake Reserve to determine the type of habitat that mule deer like. The group covered both shrub-steppe habitat and areas that had been previously farmed and replanted with wheat grass. These areas will be rehabilitated back to shrub steppe and the data that's recorded now will become baseline scientific data to determine if the rehab is beneficial for the deer. The Wenatchee World sent a photographer and reporter to document the event; view the story here...
