Brainerd Foresters Protect Seedlings

Brainerd Area Foresters of the DNR are trying to stop deer from browsing on new seedlings. Forestry Specialist Dean Makey tells KLKS News, they are protecting thousands of new seedlings in Crow Wing and southern Cass Counties. He says one method they use is called "Bud Capping," which involves stapling a piece of paper to the terminal bud. Another method is to spray on a repellent. Sometimes they have to use both methods.
