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. HDRU staff conducted a series of mail surveys specific to each of five NPS parks for the purpose of describing and understanding the views of local residents with respect to deer issues and suggesting how NPS staff might utilize this understanding to enhance management practices, including stakeholder engagement activities.
