Aerial View of Mentor Marsh in Winter

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.
