  • “Wildlife Conflicts: Real vs. Perceived” by Jon Cepek of Cleveland Metroparks.
  • “Trapping Nuisance Wildlife” by Eric Arnold of the Sharon Center, Ohio-based Wildlife Control Training Group.
  • “Deer Sterilization” by Robert Rack and Laurie Briggs of the Cincinnati area’s Clifton Deer Sterilization Working Group.
  • “Deer Management: Implementation and City Examples” by Geoff Westerfield of the Ohio Division of Wildlife.

Registration deadline is Nov. 7. Cost is $35, which includes breakfast, lunch, a packet of information and a free parking permit.
