SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the
NPS is preparing an EIS for a Whitetailed Deer Management Plan for
Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The
purpose of this plan and environmental
impact statement is to develop a deer
management plan that supports longterm protection, preservation, and
restoration of native species and other
park resources. A deer management
plan is needed at this time to ensure
that: Deer do not become the dominant
force in the ecosystem, adversely
impacting forest regeneration, sensitive
vegetation and other wildlife; natural
distribution, abundance, and diversity
of plant and animal species do not
continue to be adversely affected by the
large number of white-tailed deer in
Cuyahoga Valley National Park;
declining forest regeneration is
addressed and deer browsing does not
continue at a level that eliminates or
reduces forest regeneration, and that
adverse changes to wildlife habitat and
forest structure and composition do not
occur over time; the park’s cultural

landscape preservation goals and
mandates are not compromised by the
large number of white-tailed deer in
Cuyahoga Valley National Park; and the
protection of park resources and values
benefits from coordination with other
jurisdictional entities currently
implementing deer management actions.
There are a number of objectives for
this plan. One objective is to develop
and implement informed, scientifically
defensible vegetation and wildlife
impact levels and corresponding
measures of deer population size that
would serve as thresholds for taking
adaptive management actions within the
park. The plan would also ensure that
deer behavior, including browsing,
trampling, and seed dispersal, does not
adversely affect: Natural abundance,
distribution, and diversity of native
herbaceous and woody plant species;
native vegetative species of concern,
including rare, threatened or
endangered species; and native
vegetative species through dispersal,
spread, and facilitation of exotic,
invasive species. A third objective is to
maintain a healthy white-tailed deer
population within the park while
protecting other park resources. In
addition, the plan would ensure that
deer behavior does not adversely affect
the cultural landscape. Finally, the plan
would enhance public awareness and
understanding of NPS resource
management issues, policies, and
mandates, as they pertain to deer
management; and ensure visitors the
opportunity to view healthy deer in the
natural environment at population
levels that do not adversely impact
visitors’ enjoyment of other native
species in the natural landscape.
Preliminary alternatives that will be
considered to meet the purpose and
need include: Landscape management,
fencing, reproductive control, direct
reduction, and a combination of these
management strategies. The
continuation of current management (no
action alternative) will also be analyzed.
If you wish to comment on the
scoping brochure or on any other issues
associated with the plan, you may
submit your comments by any one of
several methods. You may submit your
comments online through the NPS
