DEER DAMAGE
CONTROL WORKSHOPS AVAILABLE FREE
To Homeowners
Associations, Civic Organizations, And Garden Clubs
Increased deer populations have had a number of impacts on suburban Montgomery County. Deer have added aesthetic value to the area, but the increasing deer population has had undesirable effects as well including damage to home landscapes and gardens, and increased risks of Lyme disease. The
Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission and the Montgomery
County Cooperative Extension Office are co-sponsoring educational workshops
to help homeowners cope with and minimize deer damage to their landscapes and
gardens. Workshops stress an
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach and provide homeowners with proven
strategies to reduce deer problems.
Workshops are 1 ˝ to 2 hours in length and offered free of charge. A minimum of 20 attendees is required. To schedule a workshop for your Homeowners/Civic Association or Garden Club, please call the Montgomery County Cooperative Extension Office at (301) 590-2809. |
