The Great Deer Debate

Cortlandt and Peekskill residents: Which side are you on?

At Patch, we want to hear your opinion.

After all, it's as much your Patch as ours. We noticed quite a debate on our pages over the proposed deer cull at Teatown Lake Reservation in Ossining.

The organization says "reducing the deer herd is necessary to restore the ecological integrity" of the preserve, which stretches across Cortlandt, New Castle and Yorktown.

Read about the petition to stop the "deer slaughter" here, and click here for the "very strong science behind" the proposal, as told by Bill Kellner of Yorktown's Tree Conservation Advisory Commission. Then have your say in the comments below.
