How to Manage Urban Deer

Ann Arbor’s Deer Management Program
Washtenaw Citizens for Ecological Balance, a group of natural area stewards, scientists, lay scientists, and interested citizens, created this site as a resource to raise awareness and provide facts about the perils to ecological balance from overabundant species.
We believe that the white-tailed deer population is currently the most urgent threat to our community’s ecosystem. We aim to apprise decision-makers and the public of the necessity to curtail its growth and to promote the most effective methods for managing it. Our focus is Ann Arbor, Michigan, but these issues are common to municipalities and park systems across North America.
