Join us for a presentation by Eli Arnow. Discover the history of deer in New York, and how deer populations skyrocketed to their current levels endangering the future of our forests. Learn what we can do to protect and steward the forests and flowers we love in the face of this ecological emergency. We'll cover potential policy changes and long-term strategies as well as actions you can take right now in your own backyard. Bring your questions for a discussion following the presentation.

Eli Arnow is an ecological hunter, land steward, and environmental advocate serving as chair of the Forest Health Task Force at Partners for Climate Action Hudson Valley. He has a masters degree from SUNY ESF in Environmental Science with a concentration in ecological restoration and lives in southern Columbia County.
