Wildlife Management
A surprising variety of animals can be found in the parks of the Hamilton County Park District. While some populations are low in numbers and in need of special protection such as the cave salamander or barn owl, others, such as the white-tailed deer and Canada goose have done so well in recent years that management is required to control their numbers. Maintaining this delicate balance can be challenging where natural controls in the form of large predators are absent from the local environment.

Surveys are also routinely conducted to determine population densities and hundreds of artificial nest structures are constructed, installed and maintained mostly by volunteers throughout the Park District.
