Deer and goose management for municipalities
In shortWe help townships, boroughs and counties run deer and goose programs on parks, preserves, open space and stormwater basins, with a thermal drone deer count, controlled archery under the municipality’s permits, federally registered goose nest control, and clear reports for officials and residents.
How do we help municipalities?
- Site assessment of parks, preserves, open space and basins
- Thermal drone deer counts that give council hard numbers
- Controlled archery programs with safety zones and posted notices
- DMAP enrollment for Pennsylvania political subdivisions
- Pennsylvania deer control permits for political subdivisions, and New Jersey special deer management areas and community-based plans
- Resident Canada goose programs in the municipality’s name
- Help explaining the program to residents and officials, and season reports
Why act now?
Pennsylvania leads the nation in animal-collision claims. See deer-vehicle collisions in Pennsylvania. In New Jersey, a municipality with significant property damage or deer-vehicle collisions can apply to the Division of Fish and Wildlife for a special deer management area.
