River Edge Nj, from the Bergen County Historical Society a tip to keep deer away from young trees .To help repel deer, the Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Bergen County Historical Society has begun placing soap (Irish Spring) on the younger native trees that line the fences at Historic New Bridge Landing. The scent of the soap prevents deer from eating the leaves of the young trees so in turn, the trees can develop the strength they need as they grow. In late August cages will be put up to prevent fall deer damage. Interested in volunteering? contactbchs@bergencountyhistory.org
