Lacawac Sanctuary: Site 5 Summer 2025 - Mixed Hardwood Forest with Heavy Deer Browsing

A mixed hardwood forest located in the Pocono Mountain region of Northeastern Pennsylvania. The soils here are quite shallow with relatively little ground or subcanopy cover. This is due in large part to herbivory by white tailed deer which are over abundant in this forest. The forest in this video has been heavily impacted by deer browsing since the mid-1900's.

The Virtual Field's 360 Degree Video Project Series allows viewers to develop their own powers of observation by studying the environments of the earth. Each 5-min 360-degree video is filmed by staff or researchers at field stations, marine laboratories or protected areas around the globe. Each site is recorded during one year at the summer and winter solstices and spring and fall equinoxes to allow students to study seasonal variation. Video guides teach students to observe, question, measure and summarize results. The Virtual Field (www.thevirtualfield.org) is a coalition of 50+ field stations and marine laboratories around the globe creating virtual teaching materials that introduce students to field research and observation. Projects are funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation and is a collaborative project of the Organization of Biological Field Stations.
