[su_spacer size=”10″]No doubt, we have all noticed the increased presence of deer on both the Medford and Lumberton Campuses. With this increase, we have worked to be proactive to stave off a phenomenon known as “deer rub.” Deer rub occurs when a male deer rubs his forehead and antlers against the base of typically a younger tree. The deer are working to rub the velvet off their newly acquired antler growth. The forehead area contains an increased number of glands that leave a scent, communicating a challenge to other male deer, while also attracting potential mates.
In order to protect our most recent acquisitions to the Arboretum, a group of residents have built protection surrounding our newest trees. We thank this group who has been extremely busy over the past two weeks to work on this important project.
