<br />Ramsey County is approximately 156 square miles in area. It contains 9 regional parks, 5
<br />regional trails, and 5 county parks. That said, there are many more parks and open spaces in
<br />Ramsey County that are not owned or managed by Ramsey County. There are 4,378 employees
<br />currently working for Ramsey County and only part of one person's time is allocated to deer
<br />management (Ramsey County, 2012).
<br />D��i� in l�anis�y Co��nt��
<br />According to the data collected by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) and
<br />Ramsey County Public Works, more than 250 deer were involved in car accidents in 2010. The
<br />number is based on the reported number of deer collisions, which is likely lower than the actual
<br />number as not every incident is reported. In 2004, the Insurance Federation of Minnesota
<br />estimated each automobile and deer- related incident cost between $2,000 -$3,500-which means
<br />in Ramsey County alone, deer incidents had an economic cost of approximately $500,000 to
<br />$875,000.
