This iconic mammal is often seen, but how much do you really know about the white-tailed deer? Join a naturalist to examine different parts of deer and their current and historical uses. We will then hit the trails to look for sights and signs of white-tailed deer. Spend some time on the trails appreciating our state mammal!
