The Cape Fear River Branch of Quality Deer Management Association will hold a June 23 white-tailed deer workshop free of charge at Howell Woods Environmental Learning Center.
The seminar will feature Joe Hamilton, certified wildlife biologist and founder of QDMA’s principals of deer management when he was a biologist with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources. Hamilton currently heads the REACH program for the southeastern U.S., encompassing QDMA research grants.
Howell Woods Environmental Learning Center is owned by Johnston Community College and is located at 6601 Devils Racetrack Road in Four Oaks.
