University of Tennessee- Department of Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries

The University of Tennessee's Department of Forestry, Wildlife, and Fisheries in Knoxville is led by Professor Craig Harper, an expert in wildlife management and habitat conservation. With a focus on applied habitat management, the department collaborates with state and federal agencies, as well as non-government organizations, to address various wildlife-related issues. Their research and extension programs aim to provide accurate information on habitat management, population management, wildlife damage management, and youth education.

Dr. Harper's research primarily focuses on applied habitat management and white-tailed deer management, including the influence of prescribed fire and selective herbicides on plant communities and habitat quality. The department also conducts research on other wildlife species such as elk, wild turkey, ruffed grouse, wood duck, and songbirds. With a strong emphasis on wildlife conservation and sustainable practices, the department offers publications, articles, and resources to support their extension wildlife program in Tennessee.
