Use As Indicator of Deer Browse in Riparian Forests

Chelone glabra is a popular browse plant for deer, although certain other plants such as Eurybia divaricata (white wood aster), Symphyotrichum prenanthoides (crooked-stem aster), and Impatiens capensis (orange jewelweed) are even more preferred by deer. In measuring damage to plants as a way of finding out the level of deer browsing, it is more effective to use a collection of deer browse species rather than just one.

Famous quotes containing the words deer and/or forests:

    There is a road that turning always
    Cuts off the country of Again.

    And as it runs time’s deer is slain,
    And lies where it has lain.
    Edwin Muir (1887–1959)

    Our village life would stagnate if it were not for the unexplored forests and meadows which surround it.
