In response to deer complaints relating to flower and shrub destruction and traffic safety, the City of Red Wing established an archery deer hunting program in the 1990s.
The goal of the Red Wing Community Gardens is to provide an area for individuals and families to grow a garden, to build and nurture community friendships, and to share and grow gardening skills.
Each year, the Public Works Department receives complaints about areas not compliant with the ordinance that establishes guidelines for maintaining weeds and grass.
