November 23, 2020 <br />Dear Neighbors, <br />This letter is to inform you about the upcoming deer management activities that will take place in <br />the City of Roseville. Locations include the city storm water pond off Western Avenue and <br />HillsviewEast, Harriet Alexander Nature Center in Central Park, Owasso Hills Park, Reservoir <br />Woods Park, Villa Park, and the Roseville Leaf Compost and Recycling Site (please see the <br />enclosed site map for details). <br />The city will again be working with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to <br />provide sharpshooters for this project. These sharpshooters areemployees of the USDA and are <br />speciallytrained to remove a predetermined number of deer in a relatively short period. They <br />will utilize equipment and methods that are efficient and effective toprioritize the safety of <br />residents. <br />The City of Roseville’s deer population is currently estimated to be above the number needed for <br />a healthy herd. Based on the amount of suitable habitat in Roseville it hasbeen determined that <br />a population of 15-19 deer canbestbe supported. This year, an attempt will be made to reduce <br />the herd by up to 85. <br />The goals of the program areto maintain a healthy herd, reduce property damage, respond to <br />resident concerns as appropriate/possible and coordinate efforts with theUSDA and the DNR <br />(Department of Natural Resources). <br />In early December,the USDA will begin baiting deer within the areas noted above. Control <br />efforts will start once the appropriate number of deer begin using the bait stations. We expect <br />these efforts to take place between December 1, 2020 andtheend of March 2021 on either <br />Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings between dusk and dawn. Suppressed <br />firearmswill be used, but some residents may still hear muffled gunshots. All meat will be <br />donated to citizens in needby the USDA. <br />For more information on the City’s Deer Management Plan, please give us a call or visit our <br />website at cityofroseville.com/deermgmt. <br />Sincerely, <br />Lonnie Brokke CPRP Jim Taylor <br />Parks and Recreation DirectorParks Superintendent <br />651-792-7101651-792-7107 <br />lonnie.brokke@cityofroseville.comjim.taylor@cityofroseville.com <br /> <br />
