We used satellite land cover data and the program FRACiSTATS to quantify land cover types and calculate the amount o f forest edge available in suburban ant1 rural regions o f northeastern and northwestern Mas- sachusetts. Cover categories included forest cover, open canopy vegetation. and non-deer habitat. We calculated all edge segments where forest cover abutted open canopy cover. Our open canopy vegetation category was calcu- lated both with ant1 without low intensity suburban tlevelopment. We then compared these findings to movement data from 53 (13 males. 40 females) adult ratlio-marked white-tailed deer (0rlrtc~itilecr.tvir~irticrrrlr.t)monitored biweekly and diurnally from January 2001 to January 2003. The range of movements o f suburban (leer in eastcrn Massachusetts showed no difference to that of suburban deer in western Massachusetts ( P = 0.7). However. the ranges for suburban deer in both eastern and western Massachusetts were I 0 times less
