Farmington Hills hosts forum giving residents tools to manage deer

The City of Farmington Hills will host an urban deer management education seminar at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 21, at The Hawk, or the Farmington Hills Community Center, at 29995 West 12 Mile Road.

A guest speaker from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources will address issues related to the growing deer population in the area. Concerns include deer/vehicle crashes, ticks and Lyme disease, property destruction, and pet health and safety.

The City of Farmington Hills undertook a deer management survey and will share results and insights at the seminar. A proposed inter-governmental resolution, possible action plans, and urban deer management initiatives for Oakland County will be discussed.

All members of the public are invited to attend and do not have to be Farmington Hills residents.
