What is the Fairfield County Municipal Deer Management Alliance?
New Canaan is a member of this 15-town alliance that deals with the health, safety, and ecological issues relating to the county deer population. Public health issues include Lyme disease and the preponderance of deer ticks, which spread the disease. Safety relates to the number of car/deer accidents. Deer have also adversely affected the woodland understory by over-browsing. For information, visit deeralliance.com.
