STRUGGLING If You See a Deer

    • Nature

Tyler and Erika begin to explore the relationship between people and deer by hearing from a backyard deer enthusiast, then dive into an ecological debate about whether deer are bad for forests. A farmer weighs in on how deer damage his crops, and a playwright mines the aftermath of a deer-vehicle collision. Along the way: deer stories, poetry, and more.
