Mule deer wintering habitat on Southern Utah’s Parowan Front north of Cedar City is in need of improvement. True to its mission, SFW was the group to step up and make that happen. SFW provided the money and the volunteers to make the project happen. Iron County Chapter volunteer and long-time SFW supporter Donnie Hunter led a group of volunteers and Division of Wildlife employees in a seeding operation designed to grow more bitterbrush, one of mule deer’s favorite forage plants especially during the harsh winter months. Recent rains since completion of the early May habitat improvement project have encouraged SFW and DWR habitat biologists hoping to make a measurable difference for deer in the area.
