Monmouth County Parks Update
DEER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Information on dates and areas open for hunting for the
2014/2015 deer management program will be available in
mid-August. Permits will go on sale September 8,
2014.
As a conservation and recreation agency, the Park System acquires and manages land both for resource protection and recreation opportunities. Responsible land stewardship and resource protection require that wildlife and its habitat be managed for the benefit of all animals and plants. When the dominance or behavior of a particular species threatens the well being of others, active intervention is required. The growth and density of the State's deer population and its consumption of native plant materials that are vital to a healthy forest and as food and shelter to birds and small mammals constitute a problem requiring active intervention.
