  The Sourland Conservancy will sponsor a free symposium to educate residents and landowners about responsible hunting in the Sourlands. This event features presentations on the impacts of deer overpopulation, basic hunting rules and regulations, and a review of local deer management efforts.  The presentations will be followed by a Q & A and panel discussion. Refreshments and time for socializing will be provided at the end of the program.

 Deer Management Symposium attendees will also get previews of two great programs: The Hunter Connection, a new web site that will help landowners find responsible hunters for their Sourland-area properties, and The Venison Connection, a program that will help non-hunters get access to fresh, delicious venison.

 The Sourland Conservancy is a nonprofit organization working to protect the ecological integrity, historic resources and special character of the Sourland Mountain region. Overpopulation of white-tailed deer is, currently, the greatest single threat to the health of the Sourland forest. The Conservancy is working on a Sourland Deer Management Plan through the generous funding of the Raritan-Piedmont Wildlife Habitat Partnership and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The Deer Management Symposium is one of the education and outreach components of the Deer Management Plan. Learn more about the Sourland Mountain region and the Sourland Conservancy’s efforts to “Save the Sourlands” at www.sourland.org.
