Beginning Tuesday, February 18, Morristown National Historical Park will begin operations to manage the deer population at the Jockey Hollow and New Jersey Brigade areas of the park. This action addresses over-browsing of native vegetation and is a key strategy that supports long-term restoration and preservation of critical natural resources in the park, while maintaining a healthy deer population.
