In today's episode, Duane Diefenbach and Jeannine Fleegle join us to talk about important research going on in the woods of Pennsylvania. The Deer-Forest Study brings together researchers from Penn State, U.S. Geological Survey, Pennsylvania Game Commission, and Pennsylvania DCNR Bureau of Forestry. Together, they have been monitoring deer populations and forest changes in Rothrock, Bald Eagle, and Susquehannock State Forests for the past 7 years. Results from this study will help in making future decisions on how to best manage deer and the forests for overall the overall health of Penn's woods. Duane is active in The Wildlife Society and a Certified Wildlife Biologist. He has served as associate editor for The Journal of Wildlife Management, vice president of the Northeast Section, and chair of the Biometrics Working Group.
