Where can I find out more about it? (URL) <br />https://www.cityofroseville.com/2786/Natural-Resources-Renewal <br />Deer Management Program <br />What is it? <br />In 2014-2015, the City began addressing the issue of a potential over- <br />population by deer in the city.The Parks and Recreation Department took on <br />the roleof working with Ramsey County to count the deer in Roseville and to <br />develop a management plan.After a great deal of public input, a decision was <br />made to first attempt to reduce the deer population by a ban on feeding deer. <br />This did not have a significantimpact, so in 2016, the City Council authorized <br />a controlled deer hunt to remove 20 deer from the city’s parks.One result of <br />the 2016 deer hunt was the finding that the health of many of the deer in the <br />city is not good, possibly due to over-population.The Parks and Recreation <br />Department continues to monitor and work with Ramsey County and the <br />Departments’ of Natural Resources and Agriculture on this issue and to make <br />recommendations to the City Council for future action. <br />Why is itimportant? <br />Over-population leads to hardship for the deer, as they do not have enough to <br />eat.Roseville citizens request that some control measures be taken, as deer <br />eat trees and plants in residential areas. Deer in the streets have led to <br />accidents. Yet citizens also enjoy wildlife and want deer in our city.It is <br />important to develop a reasonable, thoughtful management program. <br />Where can I find out more about it? (URL) <br />https://www.cityofroseville.com/3008/Deer <br />Tree Board <br />What is it? <br />Tree CityUSA is a nationwide program that provides the framework <br />necessary for communities to manage and expand their public trees. <br />Rosevilleis a member of this movement. <br />More than 3,400 communities have made the commitment to becoming a <br />Tree City USA. They have achieved Tree City USA status by meetingthe <br />core standards of sound urban forestry management, which are: maintaining <br />a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at <br />least $2 per capita on urban forestry and celebrating Arbor Day. <br />The Parks and Recreation Commission serves as the Roseville Tree Board. <br />The Commission provides input, advice and updates to the staff and City <br />Council on all tree related issues including EAB. <br />9 <br /> <br />
