Wildlife Camera Photos from the Harvard Forest Moose & Deer Browsing Experiment

Remote cameras mounted on deer and moose exclosures in mixed hardwood-white pine and hemlock stands in central Massachusetts have documented patterns of habitat use by the two ungulate species, as well as a range of other wildlife species.

Some observations are:

Moose used disturbed (especially logged) hemlock stands more frequently than intact hemlock stands, whereas deer used disturbed and intact hemlock stands more evenly. Learn More.
Moose and deer used regenerated hardwood-pine stands at roughly the same frequency, despite ambient densities of deer, at a landscape scale, being much higher than moose. Learn More.
