About our deer damage surveys
At Boddy Environmental Ltd., we conduct meticulous deer damage surveys to assess the extent of habitat impact. Deer, while a natural part of the UK’s ecosystem, pose significant threats to woodland regeneration and agricultural lands.
Our surveys provide:
- Accurate data on deer-induced habitat damage.
- Insights to develop effective mitigation strategies.
- Long-term monitoring solutions for sustainable habitat protection.
Why Are Deer Damage Surveys Essential?
With the UK’s deer population rising, unmanaged deer can:
- Strip leaves, shoots, and bark from young trees.
- Decimate undergrowth and prevent natural woodland regeneration.
- Damage crops and disrupt delicate ecosystems.
By identifying areas of concern, our surveys empower landowners, wildlife managers, and government agencies to implement targeted control measures, balancing ecological preservation and deer population management.
