ONE LANDSCAPE. A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY.

Four challenges.
One coordinated system.

For a farmer, deer pressure is more than a damaged field. It is lost yield, mounting expenses, and a season of hard work at risk.

For our community, it is an opportunity to do things differently. Protect a crop. Manage a herd. Create responsible access. Feed a neighbor.

The idea took root at the 2026–2027 Leadership Wilson class Agriculture Day, where deer pressure and the challenge of safe, controlled hunting access came up farm after farm.
