Deer Management (activity)

Activity (MS Word)
Activity (PDF)
This activity is based on the problems that many urban areas are facing with the burgeoning urban deer herds. The students are divided into groups and each group represents a real group that has a vested interest in how the deer overpopulation problem will be solved. The groups range from PETA to the Safari Club. The student groups develop a management solution for the deer overpopulation problem and present their solution at a mock city council hearing.
