Siemer WF, Leong KM, Decker DJ, Smith KK. 2007. Deer, People, and Parks: Perspectives of Residents in Communities Near Fire Island National Seashore. Human Dimensions Research Unit Publication series. 07-08
We established a research project to clarify human dimensions of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) issues in National Park Service (NPS) units in the northeastern U.S. as part of a cooperative agreement between the NPS Biological Resource Management Division (BRMD) and Cornell University’s Human Dimensions Research Unit (HDRU) in the Department of Natural Resources. The project was completed in three phases; this report details findings from research phase IIIB at Fire Island National Seashore (FINS).
