Rockville seeks public input on deer problem

Published



Rockville has a white-tailed deer problem, and between now and Sept. 9, the city is accepting public comment on the proposals for dealing with it. Last month, the city’s 16-member White-tailed Deer Management Task Force presented seven recommendations to the mayor and council on how to deal with the overgrown deer population. Two of the recommendations would require a change in the law — allowing backyard fences to be as tall as 10 feet or reducing the deer population by killing them off. People with comments should send them to deertaskforce@rockvillemd.gov or by mail to Deer Task Force, City Hall, 111 Maryland Ave., Rockville, MD 20850 by 5 p.m. on Sept. 9. ?– Rachel Baye
