Residents are advised that the USDA will be performing an aerial survey of the deer herds throughout the city today, January 20, 2021 as a part of the Mentor’s Deer Management Program whose aim is to maintain herds at sustainable levels. The result has been a marked reduction in traffic accidents as well as improved biodiversity throughout the city.
Please do not be alarmed if you see a helicopter flying low or hovering over your neighborhood, and to only call 911 if you are experiencing an emergency.
