About our deer management services

Throughout the UK, the population of deer has dramatically increased, which has had a severe impact on woodlands and agricultural lands. High deer populations negatively impact the ecological biodiversity and suppress the regeneration of forests, which may also affect the habitats of other organisms.

Being experts in deer management in the UK, we do extensive surveys on woodland, farmland and other UK habitats to collect data on deer densities and their damage impact. Our survey reports help deer management consultants decide measures and strategies for effective deer control on your sites.

Deer Management UK

Why consider deer management planning?

While the deer population in the UK is quite high, wildlife consultancies need to construct effective deer management planning to prevent deer from destroying vegetation, young trees, and woodland structure. A deer management plan assists property owners and woodland managers to mitigate the impacts of deer damage at their sites while controlling the deer population.

As professional wildlife surveyors, we provide comprehensive deer management and planning services that include deer surveys, precise data insights, and collaboration with wildlife consultants.

Deer management planning is essential for your site if you are looking forward to the following:

  • Maintaining ecosystem balance by reducing browsing and grazing of deer
  • Applying for WS1 and WD2 supplementary grants (Countryside Stewardship Scheme)
  •  Protecting public investment in woodland improvements made through WD2 grant

FAQs

A deer management plan is essential for controlling the deer population and mitigating natural vegetation, forests, and other habitats. The management comprises four key elements – objectives, methodology, monitoring, and reassessment of actions to ensure effective control of the site’s deer and habitat damage.

The deer population in the UK has grown dramatically to approximately 2 million. While the deer population is higher, they are causing extensive damage through browsing and grazing in farmlands, forest areas, and various other sites. This calls for deer management in the UK.

Wild deer populations need to be managed in woodlands, and on farmland to prevent the destruction of habitats and ecological infrastructure.

Deer managers put management plans into place, through use of lethal control methods in line with management plan cull targets.
