MD Fawn Release Sites - 2025:
The following areas were chosen for the release of rehabilitated fawns because they are easily accessible, do not require staff presence to facilitate fawn release, and are located away from suburban areas where human and domestic animal contact should be minimal.
Important Notes:
▪ Please notify regional DNR staff when you release fawns on one of the approved sites – staff contact information can be found on the list of approved release sites, below.
▪ Important! Fawns from Maryland’s CWDMA cannot be rehabbed and released elsewhere (i.e., must be rehabbed and released in the CWDMA), for fear of spreading Chronic Wasting Disease
▪ The risk of spreading Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) through the movement of deer is considered high. To prevent the possible spread of CWD to other areas of the state, we are restricting fawn rehab within the Chronic Wasting Disease Management Area (CWDMA). A fawn originally encountered in the CWDMA is required to stay in the CWDMA for rehabbing. In addition, any fawn that is rehabbed within the CWDMA must be released within the CWDMA at one of the designated county locations. Rehabbers outside of the CWDMA, cannot rehab fawns originally encountered within the CWDMA. We feel that this action is prudent, given the potential risk that is involved.
▪ Find additional information on Maryland DNR’s Chronic Wasting Disease webpage.
Also, Lyme Disease, SARS, COVID, and several species of ticks are not endemic to all areas of Maryland, but could be spread by releasing infected deer.
