Then you have a very selective memory.Invasive species and allowing enough light to get the regenetation of many species is mentioned in almost every single DMAP report from DCNR.Deer are only one part of the problem but it's one of the biggest problems because decades of overbrowsing has impacted the habitat so severly.Other issues still have to be addressed but addressing the deer issue was the most important thing.By the way,not all tree species need full sunlight.There should be a mid level canopy beneath a full canopy.
