Our free online course, "Creating a Community-Based Deer Management Plan", developed by Cornell's Human Dimension Research Unit and Natural Resources Extension, is designed to help community leaders, as well as wildlife professionals and educators, recognize the important components of a community-based deer management plan. If you are planning on writing a community-based deer management plan, then this course is intended to provide you with the information you need to do so effectively.  At the end of this course, it is our intent that you will be able to:

  1. Identify and describe the main elements of a community-based deer management plan
  2. Evaluate community-based deer management plans
  3. Feel confident that you may apply what you've learned for developing a plan of your own
