MORE ABOUT AVID
AVID is a method for volunteers, foresters, landowners and others to Assess the Vegetation for Impacts from Deer. Wildflowers and/or tree seedlings are selected and measured each year for several years to evaluate the impact of deer browsing. Field data collected by individuals and organizations across New York State, and submitted to a central database, will be used to track tree, shrub and wildflower response to deer browsing over time. Knowledge of how deer impacts change through time will help guide deer management decisions at local and state levels.

Participants will document changes in forest plants on their own land, or land in their communities, and also will learn to identify important spring wildflower and tree species, and to recognize evidence of deer impacts based on the presence or absence of key wildflower, shrub, and tree indicator species.
