We, the residents of Montclair, demand that our town leadership immediately develops and implements a deer management program. The growing deer population and their shrinking habitat have forced deer to stake a claim on our trees, shrubs and flowers. In addition, deer are a known transmitter of ticks. Tick bites can cause irritation and infection. Ticks also carry and transmit diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, among others. We understand that the Essex County is already implementing a county-wide Deer Management Program, but we feel that it is not sufficient and demand that Montclair Township takes an active role in helping its residents protect their property and health of their children.

    • I live in the southern end of town. I regularly see 4-5 deer in my backyard, eating plants, destroying leaves on trees, and leaving their droppings all over my yard. It is time to cull the heard in Eagle Rock reservation as they are doing in South Mountain. They are large, unafraid, and out of control.

    • I lived in the northeast corner of town and there were two deer at the middle of the farm across the street last summer. This is a residential community and deer does not belong among us. Remember the deer incident at William Sonoma: It's quite scary; the deer could've run right into your car.

    • Everything in our garden has been eaten by the deer, despite a fence. Very discouraging.

    • We live in Upper Montclair since 1980. In the last 4 years our property has been visited by increasing numbers of deer-eating flowers &shrubs. This winter their number increased to 5. It is not fair to the deer or to us to have them roam in such an urban area. Last year one ran into the window of Williams Sonoma and bled to death.
