3 COMMITTEE FORMATION AND GOALS
4 Formation Town Board formed committee to better understand community concerns with the deer population in town and tick borne disease (March 2014) Town Board requested the committee report on these issues and determine whether there were appropriate actions for the town to undertake within a year Committee consists of community residents with varied professional and personal experience Monthly meetings from April 2014 February 2015
5 Goals of committee Educate members on issues related to the deer population and tick borne disease Determine the degree of community concerns with the deer population and tick borne disease Explore possible interventions to address each of these issues and assess which interventions are appropriate for the Town of Bethlehem to undertake
6 TOPICS EXPLORED
7 Two different issues Deer Landscape destruction Traffic accidents Tick borne disease Ticks Many hosts other than deer
8 Presentations to committee May 2014: Karl Parker DEC Wildlife Biologist presented on DEC s deer management structure, a brief history of deer management in Albany County, the issues and challenges we face in trying to manage deer in an urban/suburban environment, and how these challenges might be addressed. June 2014: Melissa Prusinski, Research Scientist and Laboratory Supervisor, New York State Department of Health, Bureau of Communicable Disease Control, Vector Ecology Laboratory presented on ticks and tick borne disease in NYS. July 2014: Matt Frye, NYS Integrated Pest Management Program presented on understanding ticks and their management.
9 Presentations to committee August 2014: Dr. Alan Sanders and Susan Wong (NYS DOH) presented on tick borne disease diagnosis, presentation, and testing. September 2014: Dick Watt, TOB Animal Control officer spoke about his professional experience with deer and other animals, Mandy Fallon, Bethlehem Garden Club, presented on deer and landscaping damage, and Dr. Tara Estra, Canterbury Veterinary Hospital, talked about how tick borne disease impacts our pets. October 2014: Mike Snyder, ecologist, spoke about Biodiversity and Ecology.
10 Presentations to committee November 2014: Laura Simon, Wildlife Ecologist and Director of the National Humane Society presented on Solving the Deer Problem: What s Practical and What s Possible? December 2014: Various committee members researched and reported back to the whole committee on what other municipalities have done to address both deer and ticks in their community; including what has been effective and what has not.
11 COMMUNITY SURVEY
12 The details Goal to assess community experience with deer and tick populations Online survey free, simple method to garner community input, distributed via numerous outlets Survey launched on 9/10/14 and closed on 10/15/ responses collected Survey results are NOT intended to be representative of the ENTIRE community
13 Big picture Deer are a nuisance Nobody likes ticks Responses varied by geography Respondents had lots of comments Photo: Brittanica.com
14 Landscape and garden damage 73% of respondents have experienced landscape or garden damage Of those experiencing damage, 75% felt interventions they used to deter deer were either ineffective or only somewhat effective Popular interventions: deer resistant plantings, fencing, urine/predatory scent products, soap or spray deterrents
15 Driving and traffic concerns 66% of respondents see deer at least 1-2x week on or near town roads 25% see them almost daily 23% report someone in their immediate family being in a deer/car accident on town roads Of those experiencing an accident 26% described major damage Only 50% of respondents reported accident to BPD
16 Too many deer? 49% of respondents say There are way too many deer in Bethlehem and it s a problem
17 Nobody likes ticks 81% of respondents have found ticks on their body (or that of an immediate family member) 86% of respondents know someone who has had a tick borne disease 39% of respondents report that either they or an immediate family member have been diagnosed 27% of respondents feel like they have a pretty good handle on controlling ticks
18 Responses* varied by geography Refer to the survey summary on the committee webpage to see the question by question variation but in general, the negative impact of deer and ticks is felt more greatly in Delmar and Slingerlands/North Bethlehem, as opposed to Glenmont and Selkirk/ South Bethlehem *to some questions
19 Respondents had lots of comments 663 (38%) respondents took the time to answer If you have any thoughts you d like to share, here s your chance!
20 Recurring themes in comments Development has caused the deer population problem Heart breaking personal anecdotes about tick borne disease Hunting might be part of the answer to reduce the deer population But some respondents felt VERY strongly that only non-lethal interventions are acceptable Non-toxic methods of tick control important
21 Recurring themes in comments Co-exist with nature Deer are not the only host animals for ticks Personal responsibility Education
22 Community support 84% of respondents in favor of Town looking at methods of reducing tick population 61% of respondents in favor of Town looking at methods of reducing deer population
23 SUMMARY OF INFORMATION GATHERED
24 Consensus among committee members After reviewing all the information presented and the results of the community survey, committee members agreed that the town board should address both the deer and the tick populations in our community.
25 RECOMMENDATIONS
26 ESTABLISH A STANDING COMMITTEE
27 Committee composition Working name Bethlehem Management Program for Deer and Ticks (open to name suggestions) To include: at least one town staff representative, along with interested members of current committee and new members as appropriate Committee will welcome assistance from community resources including, but not limited to: School districts in town (3) Department of Health (county and state) MHLC, 5 Rivers, etc. Cornell Cooperative Extension Representatives from local college environmental science programs Scouting organizations Interested residents
28 Committee goals and priorities Goals Public education/awareness Implementation of interventions identified and recommended by Deer and Tick Borne Disease Committee Priorities Interventions most easily implemented at the individual citizen level Low cost, low controversy interventions
29 Public awareness campaigns Managing deer population Reduce public feeding of deer Reduce deer/car collisions Utilize effective landscape management to reduce deer feeding areas and destruction Managing tick population and tick borne disease Habitat management to reduce tick population Tick borne disease education for children and adults Education regarding personal protection/tick removal
30 Recommended interventions Monitor deer population/measure the impact of deer on community Variety of options for monitoring the population as well as potential partners to engage in process new committee should determine which is best Reduce deer/car collisions Utilize traffic trailers with flashing messages in hot spots Install roadside reflectors in hot spots Install deer crossing signs at identified areas Wildlife warning whistles Explore additional ways to encourage accident reporting
31 Recommended interventions Reduce landscape damage from deer Partner with local businesses to provide deer deterrents at lower cost Manage deer habitat Make Planning Board aware of impact of new development on deer population and develop suggested criteria that consider impact on wildlife when approving new development site (including the problems of having pockets of habitat close to residential areas) Reduce tick population Develop a program to offer Damminex tubes (or bait boxes for small mammals) at cost to town residents or host a workshop teaching residents to make their own
32 REDUCING THE DEER POPULATION
33 Matching service Connect landowners who wish to reduce the deer population on their property with qualified hunters (during regular hunting season); partner with DEC if they have an existing list
34 Bethlehem Deer Management Plan Develop a town specific DMP with DEC This might include: A longer hunting season More hunting permits issued Hunting on currently prohibited lands (ie: town owned or other public lands) Gun hunting near the Hudson River Etc.
35 NOT RECOMMENDED
36 Interventions we don t recommend Organizing a town sponsored cull of the deer population Applying for a permit to develop a deer contraception program Developing a surgical deer sterilization program Developing a deer capture and release program Developing a deer trap and euthanize program Seeking DEC approval to utilize Four Poster Bait stations to reduce the tick population on deer Pesticide application on town owned lands
37 Final thoughts from committee members
