Deer Study to Begin in Elm Creek Park Reserve
January 24, 2023
Three Rivers Park District is partnering with the University of Minnesota on a research project to monitor white-tailed deer for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, their habitat use, and movement in and around Elm Creek Park Reserve. SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes COVID-19 in humans. White-tailed deer get the virus from humans and then can transmit it within the deer population. Targeted monitoring will involve placing GPS tracking collars on deer and sampling the same deer for the virus multiple times when possible.
