The annual meeting on deer management will be held 7 p.m. Aug. 25, in the municipal building, 710 Washington Road. Mt. Lebanon's deer management plan, available at www.mtlebanon.org, requires that the plan be evaluated and updated each year.
Mt. Lebanon contracts with the U. S. Department of Agriculture to implement a white-tailed deer management program to reduce property damage, nuisance complaints and deer-vehicle collisions.
In 2007, the municipality obtained a Pennsylvania Game Commission Special Use Permit to remove no more than 150 deer from within municipal limits. By the conclusion of the program in late spring 2008, the USDA had removed 146 deer.
The Aug. 25 meeting will begin with a presentation by representatives of the Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. A public comment session will follow and each resident may speak up to five minutes.
The USDA report for 2008 will be posted at www.mtlebanon.org.
