The Township's Deer Management Program will
run from Saturday, September 19, 2020 through Monday, January 18,
2021. Abington Deer Management will be conducting controlled deer hunts in open space properties owned by the Township.
These hunts have been conducted for the past four (4) years by skilled and trained archers. There are no guns involved. Signs will be posted in areas where the hunts are taking place during this period. Here are the maps of the designated hunting areas.
In addition to the dangers deer pose to drivers, deer damage our trees and are carriers of Lyme disease.
Our Public Works Department will also be investigating the posting deer crossing signs across the Township in areas of concern.
We believe that these hunts are in the best interest and safety of our residents and visitors. For further information, please contact our Public Works Superintendent, Chris Clewell at 215-635-4600, ext. 366.
