SUMMARY:WAA: Antigo Chapter Founder's Day Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a spirited Founders’ Day gathering to celebrate everything we love about our university. Build connections with local alumni as you experience a thought-provoking presentation from fellow Badger Tim Van Deelen\, professor of forest and wildlife ecology\, who will discuss the impact of wolves on the white-tailed deer population. When Badgers connect\, great things happen! \nRegister by May 8. \nAbout the Program\nEnjoy a special presentation: \nWolves and Whitetails: The Growth of Wisconsin’s Wolf Population and Its Effects on White-Tailed Deer \nWith a discussion on the resurgence of wolves and the ongoing challenges of chronic wasting disease in deer populations\, Professor Van Deelen will explore how science informs wildlife policy and conservation strategies. Drawing on his expertise in population dynamics\, predator-prey interactions\, and habitat management\, he will discuss the ecological and human factors shaping Wisconsin’s natural landscapes. Whether you’re a hunter or a conservationist — or simply someone who is passionate about the state’s wildlife — this talk will give you a deeper understanding of the delicate balance between conservation efforts and human interests. \nAbout the Speaker\n\nTimothy Van Deelen is a professor of forest and wildlife ecology and a faculty affiliate with the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies.
