This project, supported by a cooperative agreement between Cornell University and the National Park Service, studies human dimensions of issues related to white-tailed deer and deer management in Fire Island National Seashore. Face-to-face interviews with residents of communities near parks are used to understand and describe opinions and experiences of local stakeholders with respect to deer and deer management in parks, the role of parks in deer and other wildlife management, and the influence of public input on wildlife management in parks.
