Saratoga National Historical Park Holding Deer Management Plan Open House

The National Park Service (NPS) invites the public to attend a public open house to learn more about a proposed Adaptive White-tailed Deer Management Plan for Saratoga National Historical Park. 

NPS will host this public meeting at the Stillwater Town Hall, located at 881 N. Hudson Ave. in Stillwater, NY, on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. EDT. The open house will provide an opportunity to learn about deer-related impacts on the park, to discuss this information with the NPS team, and to provide written comments. Because this is an open house, there will be no formal presentation or recording, and attendees are welcome to arrive at any time between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. EDT.

Saratoga National Historical Park is in the early stages of developing an Adaptive White-tailed Deer Management Plan.
