Secondary goals are to reduce the damage to landscape plantings on Livingston Campus, as well as neighboring properties and to reduce deer-vehicle collisions on Livingston Campus.Īs the broader goal is to keep the deer population in check, the emphasis on the hunt is to reduce the population of reproducing females, though males (bucks) may also be taken secondarily. Initial indications from the nearly ten years of management are that the vegetation community in the EcoPreserve is responding positively. This will require sustained management every year. The long term goal is to reduce the high level of deer browsing pressure such that we see a significant increase in the amount and diversity of native understory vegetation and regeneration of tree seedlings/saplings to replace overstory trees killed due to disease, pests and storm damage. Conservation officers of the New Jersey Division of Fish & Wildlife also monitor the conduct of the hunt to ensure that all relevant NJ hunting regulations are followed. The plan has been reviewed and approved by the members of a Deer Management Advisory Committee which includes participation from RU Police Department, Office of Risk Management, and Facilities Management, as well as by the RU EcoPreserve Advisory Committee and the Dean of the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences. This management plan is modeled after the successful deer damage management plan employed on other New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) lands.
In an attempt to lower the population of deer, a deer management program was instituted in the Fall of 2012. Unchecked populations of deer can cause damage to the plant life and causing a danger to vehicles traveling on the perimeter roads.
There is an over population of White Tail Deer across central New Jersey, as well as in the Rutgers Ecological Preserve (RUEP) located on the Livingston Campus of Rutgers University. The managed hunting program within the EcoPreserve will take place from Septemthrough February 18, 2023.
