ABOUT THE CAUSE

Deer Haven Park is continuously making improvements to the habitat for the deer and other wildlife within the park. Some of these improvements made each year include:

  • Planting of Food – Deer Haven Park plants over 100 acres of food every year for the deer and other wildlife, from corn, beans, clover, and other crops.
  • New Trees – Each spring, we plant 1,000 new trees within the park, from fruit and nut trees to several different apple varieties, and Conifers.
  • Mowing – Continual mowing of the areas along roads and wood lines ensures the deer always have fresh chutes of grass to eat.
  • Maintenance – Routine maintenance such as repairing breaks in the fence and maintaining roads within the park.
  • Invasive Species – If not removed, invasive plant species will overtake the park and choke out the nutritional food-based plants that deer and other wildlife rely on.

Deer Haven Park is a privately-owned organization that does not rely on government grants to survive. We have answered the appeal to “Save the White Deer” and will continue to help the herd grow and thrive.  All the enhancements made to this amazing habitat are funded personally and supplemented through private donations, tour proceeds, and special events such as these.
